"Likely Russian in origin" is all the combined voice of the intelligence community has to say about the source of the hack.

That's all we get? Where's the evidence? Why the hesitation? This should not be enough to satisfy anyone.https://t.co/deNLoM4RlH

“...indicates that an Advanced Persistent Threat actor, likely Russian in origin, is responsible for most or all of the recently discovered, ongoing cyber compromises of both government and non-governmental networks“https://t.co/mYtafPg8ly https://t.co/kaaIIjhb76 pic.twitter.com/Z4XUBNnjnC
Belatedly stating the obvious. The enduring legacy of Trump national security policy - “a day late, and a dollar short.” https://t.co/FFOJaVq7Id

NEW: In a joint statement from the FBI, CISA, ODNI, and the NSA, the US government formally blamed Russia for SolarWinds hack
— Catalin Cimpanu (@campuscodi) January 5, 2021
Joint statement described the attack as "likely Russian in origin" and as "an intelligence gathering effort."https://t.co/NRpnHNv56P pic.twitter.com/oOfSAvlVGI
I personally find @DNI_Ratcliffe statement at best disingenuous- at worst complete bullshit - as it relates to ODNI & NSA... in fact yea Ratcliffe isn’t being honest here and it’s predictable https://t.co/mYtafPg8lyhttps://t.co/fHnNeP8chy pic.twitter.com/f1Nkravxb3

Joint statement (see here in full: https://t.co/TH85HjZ5Fx) also clarified that second-stage malware/activity was discovered on the networks of "fewer than ten U.S. government agencies"
— Catalin Cimpanu (@campuscodi) January 5, 2021
Still a big deal, though
I'm going to be the first to admit that I thought this was already common knowledge. https://t.co/8Mnw4n6eKl

"U.S. intelligence community says Russia is ‘likely’ behind the cyberhack"

Likely? This definitely is Russian intelligence who have been attacking us for years while Trump covers for themhttps://t.co/h9hUyu9Ikb
U.S. intelligence community says Russia is ‘likely’ behind major cyberhacks of federal agencies https://t.co/wpbBC4MvXw
— Jarosław Stróżyk (@JStrozyk69) January 6, 2021
Though U.S. intel community says so far they have identified fewer than 10 federal agencies that have been compromised by the Russians, that's a preliminary number and could likely grow as the investigation continues. https://t.co/9GqhAmiL6I

Today's joint statement on the SolarWinds hack said Russia was likely the culprit. Inside the intelligence agency there are few doubts. There is a high degree of confidence in Russian culpability. Updated story by @SangerNYT and me: https://t.co/HKilFAkMP4
— Julian E. Barnes (@julianbarnes) January 5, 2021
The statement — jointly issued by four government agencies — was a clear rebuke of President Trump’s effort to suggest that China was behind the hacking. But inside the intelligence agencies, there are few doubts that Russia is responsible. https://t.co/uqY1WGnxwr

Meanwhile, Trump has done nothing and instead blamed China. Republicans are fine with all of this. Why?https://t.co/OJecmpfEYh
