The AI in my head is a bit underpowered but it gets the job done

So much for modern education

I’m not suggesting one way or another, only that the quoted explanation taken at face value isn’t suggesting China based on name analysis.

There’s also no reason to assume a nation state. This is completely within the realm of a single or small group of hackers. Organized crime another possibility. Errors with naming are plausible just as the initial mistakes with timing analysis and valgrind errors.

Even assuming a nation state, you name Russia as a possibility. Russia has shown themselves to be completely capable of errors, in their hacks (2016 election interference that was traced back to their intelligence base), their wars, their assassination attempts, etc.

And to me it doesn’t seem any more likely that China would point to themselves but sprinkle doubt with inconsistent naming versus just outright pointing to someone else.

It’s all guesses, nothing points one way or another. I think we agree on that.

That actually suggests not Chinese due to naming inconsistencies

I hope they are all extremely annoyed and frustrated

Damnit, save some puns for the rest of us.

But if it’s something awesome marketed towards saving humanity then do something actually awesome and impactful instead of distracting bullshit like hyperloops and Mars colonies on unrealistic time-frames and self-driving cars instead of public transportation. Endless talk and grand gestures when these people have the resources to really drive improvements/innovations in achievable realistic projects.
