You can't have "irrefutable proof" on the Internet. On the internet nobody even knows if you're a dog or not. It is strange to me that we have people on this otherwise pretty "technical" site who believe otherwise.

Who says they use the internet for the evidence?

Maybe they have infiltrated the organization who did the attack.

Maybe they were warned by some other nation who had done so.

Maybe they were listening in on the C&C traffic.

Maybe they were tipped off by Russia itself.

Maybe the attackers were sloppy fools.

There are tons of avenues how this could have played out, which would be sensitive to reveal in detail.

Maybe there's a teapot orbiting Mars?

Or maybe Russell himself is orbiting Mars, but it is irrelevant to this discussion.

Those are possible, plausible and falsifiable reasons for having non-internet-based evidence. If any of those reasons were true, Norway would likely stay quiet about the details.
