The analysts, linguists, and cultural experts at Wapack Labs looked at what data has been made publicly available from the government and other sources, as well as our own private data sources. We undertook this project to demonstrate that a serious analytic effort to attribute malicious activity is more than just connecting the dots: it is holistic, relying on diverse data sets, and subject to formal analytic methodologies.

We hope this work will both elevate the discussion around these issues, and enable decision-makers in the public and private sector who are concerned about these issues to focus their limited time on actual intelligence, rather than fear, hyperbole, and circular reporting.
