It really doesn't matter what Verizon believes about who did the breach. Say you want to buy my car, but then it gets destroyed, and I say Superman did it. Whether you believe me or not, it doesn't matter, you still won't buy a destroyed car.

This is somewhat different from Yahoo users' perspective: in their case, as well, the point is not if the breach was state-sponsored, the point is: did it take mass destruction weapons and hundreds of spies coordinated for months, or did it take five minutes and a hairpin?
