Aren't hacker groups notorious for being state sponsored? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwarfare_by_China

Also, relations with the Chinese government have reached an extremely low point under Xi.



That's like saying criminals are notorious for being under 6' tall. There exist state-sponsored hacking groups. There also exist plenty of not-state-sponsored hacking groups too.


That is stating the obvious. I also had clearly explained in the above comment that why I believed it was state sponsored.

>Also, relations with the Chinese government have reached an extremely low point under Xi.

I can't claim what I said was true about this being state sponsored. It is what is known as a gut feeling.

Personally I see a counter point to my own point as I don't see any reason that in the past few months, we would have done anything to get Chinese aggression.

I also am open to the idea it is some troll who wanted the money they invested in Bitcoin to get a temporary bump which would be worse for Twitter IMO if one person on their laptop can do this.
