It would be better to tighten security and prevent such activity, than to accuse any state actor, accusing a state actor, I would guess, gives them more power in political negotiations.

As far as I understand, its mostly impossible to be certain who did what in hacking since the location doesn't really determine who it is.

Nothing is impossible.

Don't think for a moment that the US Gov doesn't know who did this. The problem is how to approach it without giving away too much.

It is my feeling that all Russian Networks have been compromised including the Kremlin's. There is no other country on Earth the has the reach the USA does.

So better to sit quietly and give them nothing. Let the media make the assumptions and suggestions.
