NK are one if the most prolific state actor countries. They aren't UTC+2 though.

Greece and Finland aren’t prolific. I’m sure they have the resources, many lone people would have. I don’t think they have the motives though. The US, Russia, China, NK and Israel have the motive, opportunity and track record. I wouldn’t rule out Ukraine either (and Ukraine is GMT+2)

I still think that an individual is the most likely candidate though.
