The Usual Suspects
It seems whenever there is a major breach the first accusation is blame the Russians, Chinese, or NORKS without thinking. Government hacking and spying will directed to gain information the government finds useful or wants. This accusation allows the victim to blame shift from their own bungling incompetence that make Colonel Klink look a military genius to they never had a chance against a major spookhaus.
Criminals are interested in stealing information they can convert into money such as credit card numbers relatively easily. Others are interested in embarrassing public figures and companies for extortion though you can not embarrass low lifes like politicians and most celebrities. Neither is something governments generally care about.
