Wikileaks offers tech giants access to sourcecode for CIA Vault 7 exploits

I am sort of shocked that somebody would use code that hasn’t had its debug information stripped but, damn it all, you got me with ‘specific compilers.’ That leaves a huge signature: same code compiled with very nearly the same compiler/settings can produce binaries that are shockingly different. Fingerprinting those is probably a worthwhile endeavor.

Mm.

I’ve revised my opinion. There can be such evidence and I’m provisionally willing to accept that such evidence exists.

So, to recap: there is credible evidence that someone from the Russian Federation made the attacks and that’s the extent of it?

Much obliged for the reply. I think I understand how the attribution was made and why it has the error bars that it does. This is useful information. Thank you.
