Always use "attributed to" or "ascribed to" instead of "attributed into" when you mean to assign a quality, characteristic, or cause to something. For example, "The company's success was attributed to its innovative marketing strategies".
Common error
Avoid using the preposition "into" after "attributed". The correct preposition is "to". Incorrect: "The problem was attributed into a software glitch." Correct: "The problem was attributed to a software glitch."
