and yet the basis for attribution of hack to GRU/APT28 is that they made multiple boneheaded lapses in operational security, in which they failed to use proxy servers and inadvertently added "Russian" fingerprints to metadata
Definitely a serious player in the field. "Leading light" is something different, though. Not that I have any objections to noticing metadata like this and calling attention to it; it can be a clue, even though it's very poor evidence to rest other conclusions on.

what do you understand to be the main evidence that DNC emails were hacked by Russian hackers under Putin's personal direction and then delivered by them to Wikileaks? I'm not arguing opposite, but too often supposed proof is just shouting assertion more loudly.

If it's true, that bit that came out a while ago about a Netherlands spy agency hacking into the responsible Russian outfit and even looking through their webcams could be first-rate evidence. (I may be misremembering a bit, but since it could be disinformation anyway...)
