What counts as a state-level actor? The NSA, obviously. But a lot of other groups seem to be in more of a grey area.

The corresponding agencies in China and Russia, obviously. But usually a state-level actor wants deniability, which is where the "grey area" hacker teams come in (groups that appear to be state actors but this can be difficult to prove).
It’s really just about the resources an organization has. Can be lots of different government and NGO type entities.
