The Intercept has the story Russia Hysteria Infects WashPost Again: False Story About Hacking U.S. Electric Grid.

Even worse, there is zero evidence that Russian hackers were even responsible for the implanting of this malware on this single laptop. The fact that malware is “Russian-made” does not mean that only Russians can use it; indeed, like a lot of malware, it can be purchased (as Jeffrey Carr has pointed out in the DNC hacking context, assuming that Russian-made malware must have been used by Russians is as irrational as finding a Russian-made Kalishnikov AKM rifle at a crime scene and assuming the killer must be Russian).

Even this story does not get it completely right. The software is not Russian made, although they did put that in quotes. See my previous post US Govt Data Shows “Russia” Used Outdated Ukrainian PHP Malware.
