Ah finally, a more plausible explanation is put forward. Only two weeks ago right here in Ars, I pointed out that no one has come out so far and said, 'yes, we have actual evidence that confirms that Russia was involved in the hacks so far'. It's all being attribution and speculation but thankful the media has repeated it enough its taken the aura of truth.
I know a some people really want to believe that foreign 'actors' want to influence the election so it feels like a good explanation. However to me, it seems a bit colorful to not simply assume that people who actually have a big stake in the elections won't happen to be closer to home. Why go overseas looking for a boogeyman if not as a diversion? Why would Russia get their hands on some of the most sophisticated hacking tools then release it to everyone...
Hopefully this continues to bear fruit.
