Also, would this be the same group that hacked the Socchi Winter Olympics, soon after Russia was banned? The one that the US indicted and labelled as a “petulant child”?

No. Attribution wasn’t clear for Olympic Destroyer; it’s doubtful we’ll we ever know the specific APT responsible. Signals intelligence was used to guess at Russian attribution so we at least have a pretty good idea which country launched it.

Maybe the attribution isn’t 100% (as would be expected with how the attacker masked themselves using techniques from every major nation state hacker) but Russian hackers were indeed indicted for it.

Correct. That’s what I called out with my second link. Your question was whether Gamaredon did Olympic Destroyer.

Ah I get what you’re saying. Would be more helpful if lemmy presented more than one comment in context when replying.
