There is no provable claim by GCHQ for any of this. They are professionally liars and deceivers. The first public, peer-reviewed publishers are the ones that get the credit. GCHQ claims are just unproven British government propaganda from people that have agreed on record that they will lie, deceive and hide the truth.

It's certainly conceivable this claim was made by them just an attempt to look good.

If so it was an inept attempt, not that "inept" rules it out.

But I do generally assume that when organisations point at their mistakes, its not a failed attempt to look good.
