Too stupid....Guccifer 2.0 IS the Russian group which conducted the hacking. They released the hacked emails to Wikileaks who then published them on the Internet. Both of those paragraphs are accurate and you're imagining a distinction which doesn't exist.There was no distinction. You're reading two paragraphs where they mention Guccifer 2.0 and drawing an erroneous distinction between the them.Guccifer 2.0 could still be a group in that context.Who says the two are contradictory? They both sound like a group of people.
Because you don't "use" yourself to do something, you just do it. The article said: Guccifer 2.0 was used to publicly release the data from hacks, but that the hacks themselves were conducted by Russia." The author of the article is the one that drew the distinction.
Yet the author felt a need to draw a distinction, go figure.
Maybe you should go back to your ESL class.
Guccifer was used to publicly release the data form the hacks.
Russia conducted the hacks themselves.
One released, one hacked, two different entities at work. It's so simple a 6th grader could understand.
