FBI's blaming an eastern European group called DarkSide, DarkSide denies direct responsibility but claims it may have been perpetrated by a customer of their ransomware.
Cyberattacks are very often absolutely impossible to definitely attribute to an author. Could be a single dude at home, could be a state-sponsored team.
Ransomware attacks are even worse as they self-propagate, probing servers randomly for vulnerabilities. This is likely to not even have been a targeted attack - one of the ransomware's various operators just got lucky and infected yet another network, except this time it was one for a pipeline.
Yeah, most likely. Also, thinking about it I doubt the ransomware operator actually feels lucky - given the impact he must be shitting himself a bit - I doubt he'd even collect the ransom if it was paid.
