Who wrote the second letter of Peter?

Some scholars say Peter wrote the letter. After all, the salutation of the letter says as much. However, some scholars say one of Peter’s students wrote the letter long after Peter died. So the letter could have been written any time between the early 60s C.E. and the 90s C.E. The author, whoever it is, did not say to whom he was writing. The message reads like an open letter to believers everywhere.
