Florian Egloff argues that public attributions of cyber incidents display a skewed version of cyber conflict. This is because the government and industry actors involved are often driven by political and commercial interests as well as legal constraints. In addition, public attribution of cyber incidents takes place in a heavily contested and information poor environment, creating opportunities for actors to promote their narrative on who is responsible for incidents. To address these concerns, Egloff argues that there is an increasing need for academic interventions in this area.
