I think we're discussing different topics. The article headline says, "Microsoft confirms Russian spies stole source code, accessed internal systems." I interpreted your comment about vault 7 to imply that investigators (ie, MS & anyone that they asked to be involved) couldn't be certain this was Russia. I disagree with that; snuggling data leaves too many breadcrumbs. Your reply seems more focused on other parts of vault 7, and although I don't necessarily disagree with it, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

However, it's important to remember that FBI!=CIA!=NSA

> snuggling data leaves too many breadcrumbs

I can understand these breadcrumbs in detail. From easy stuff like TCP and DNS to the design patterns of the radiation hardened firmware running on the communication satellites.

I propose a blinded trial, give me a API with a few terabytes of data I'll have it accessed and the data moved to a third party. Then Microsoft can tell me who that person is right?
