Der Spiegel reports the infamous Regin malware, only publicly discovered last year but known to have been used in many serious attacks over the past decade, has been identified conclusively as NSA product. In addition to many circumstantial clues, source code for an NSA keylogger from the Snowden archives matches that of the Regin keylogger plugin. So Regin is most likely the system referred to as 'warriorpride' in the same documents.

What sort of fallout do you expect this to cause? Presumably many of those attacked already suspected who lay behind the attacks, but now that there is clear evidence to back up the suspicion, will that change things between the '5 Eyes' community and allies like Holland, Germany and non-state actors like the IAEA, who have been targets for attack?
