(29,932 posts)Not that the hack occurred but already knowing who did the hack especially during TPP negotiations which is obvious about China. Professional hackers are very skilled at covering their tracks, attribution is incredibly difficult usually a mistake or an informant. I wouldn't blame China if they did hack considering our hostile nature and the NSA has been hacking them, including civilian infrastructure such as a University but I doubt they already know who did the hack so there is something suspicious about them pointing the finger here. A government official speaking to the BBC is certainly dubious because how did they know China or Russia cracked whatever, if true outing themselves as spying on them
