Huh? I simply stated that it was foolish and naive to assume that *all* "hackers" were lone actors. That is not seeing a bogeyman under every (or any) rock. Tell me this - do you think that countries like the US, UK and Japan DO NOT have our own "hackers" working for our militaries and intelligence orgs? That's a matter of public record. So, why WOULDN'T Russia also have them?

Yes, and you are master of the obvious. I believe most of major countries have hackers in their employ. However, to make the assumption the majority do so with evil intent is wrong, China is the exception. You remind me of a 16 year old who has read one too many spy novels.
