It's only going to recycle old news. The missing piece is attribution. Had it been the usuals (DPRK, Russia, China), the attribution would have been made publicly.

Some serious OSINT (consistency of timezone across months if not years of commits) pointed to the Middle East. An obvious Unit name comes to mind.
