NY Times implicates a nation state in compromise of data of 4.5 million patients

The NY Times has an article that examines a recent information breach at a hospital based on an SEC filing.  One interesting aspect is that that article claims the attack was carried out by a nation state.  I would like to see more information to back up this claim, but it is in the realm of possibility.  The SEC filing believes no medical records were compromised, so it's not clear what exactly was taken.
