   It could have been any nation state, including nato countries, or any   
   criminal organization that could afford to have someone send a couple   
   of years building a reputation before even starting to introduce the   
   changes that when combined included the backdoor.   
      
   It could even have been just one individual with skills and time on their   
   hands.   
      
   While the times of commits may be an indication, it could also be someone that   
   wasn't doing things in normal office hours. Even the ip address could have been   
   hidden by using a previously hacked system, and/or vpn services.   
      
   Speculation on who is behind it is pointless.
