Wait, Yahoo believes the data was stolen by a "state-sponsored actor"!

If they have such evidence, why don't they explain so? To me it looks like a tactic to put the focus on the "noughty" government instead of themselves.

Anyway, it will be an interesting read (if ever written) how Yahoo discovered they had been stolen and by who (what state?).

Also, if "the state" is finally behind this, who will they prosecute till death? I bet it's the hacker :(
