Media Unleashes "Russian Hacker" Scare Again

Today, a group of "Russian-speaking" hackers hacked into multiple US federal agencies' computer systems. Also today, three "Russian" hacktivist groups threatened to shut down European banking systems within 48 hours. Is this real, or another "Russia Russia Russia" play by the media? I don't know about you, but I'm going with the latter.
