We've seen repeated examples in the past of big hacks conducted by swedes. I've not seen anything to suggest state sponsorship of it. The only hacking I expect from Sweden's government is hacking off the heads of those who criticism Islam; cyber attacks are assumed individuals. Likewise, when someone in the US hacks, is it state sponsored? Is a group like 4chan tied to the US government when they troll down sites? Is Tyen botting on behalf of the NSA?
It's fair to say this was a Russian group - evidence supports this. It's leaps and bounds of logic stretching to say it was state sponsored Putin involvement government hacking. I think it could be, and wouldn't be surprised if it is, but we DO NOT KNOW THAT yet and to just dump the blame on the easiest culprit isn't good, and what's worse, it's very obviously being done to downplay the actual content of what was hacked.
