It might also be that a country's spooks have real reasons to think that the malware came from enemy 'X' but don't want to disclose their sources - hence "We found tell-tale signs of 'X' in the code".

Whatever the truth is, none of the spooks will have any interest in disclosing it so you just have to hope that your spooks are on your side.
