Most people in the infosec industry are adamant that attribution is the most difficult part of the process, but Romanian security firm Bitdefender's Daniel Clayton is an exception. The vice-president of global services and support said this was not really the case.
"Researchers shy away from attribution because it often impossible to be 100% certain," he told
iTWire during a detailed interview.
"However, an intelligence comment by its very nature is a probability statement. When you speak to researchers, they are generally very confident about attribution, but when you read research papers and articles, they tend to be less concise."
