According to this new Tallinn Paper from the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, public attribution of state-sponsored offensive cyber operations is complex and has political, technical and legal aspects. States can use attribution as a vehicle to advance their political goals, but there is often a risk involved in making a public attribution. Any response from the attacked party, such as attribution or a hack-back, must be carefully considered before being undertaken due to the political implications that such a response would cause.
