Yeah, makes sense. Those countries are bad because they execute state-sponsored cyber attacks, the US and Israel on the other hand are good, they only execute state-sponsored defense.

"oops, our latest unreleased model is so good at hacking, we're afraid of it! literal skynet! more literal than the last time!"

almost like they have an incentive to exaggerate
