I would expect Reuters at least, and Google hopefully, to understand what identifying the attackers in China would amount to, assuming they really can be identified. This is one of those situations where the perpetrators could actually be murdered or imprisoned for life by the government and never be seen again for embarrassing the country and/or its face.
Some people are spending their lives in prison while others are being allowed to run full criminal activities over the 'net in/via China.
We must never forget the variable human rights in China and that they only exist for certain people with connections. If you're lucky enough to have acquaintances of Chinese businessmen, you hear about these things all the time; they'll carefully talk rather candidly about a lot of it.
