I had a customer this morning complaining she couldn’t “sign on” to the Internet. I mentioned that Google had an outage this morning, but she responded that she doesn’t use any Google services. Of course her email was from a Gmail address.

You can do plenty when you know how you would have otherwise been caught. And that's all fireye admits to having been breached. I'm gonna go ahead and not take their word on it definitively having been russia either. Convenient timing after iran specifically has stated they're going to retaliate for the dead scientist. China will probably confirm this shortly Pretty sure this is far from over and pretty sure this company is just the first to go public. I know I'm next, they're coming after my google home mini and my netflix account.

But I think I read somewhere that the Fireye tools that were stolen were a collection of malware already in the wild that they used for testing of client networks. So it was stuff already available, just neatly packaged. The guys who really f’d up were the “Equation Group” (cough, cough, NSA) who lost novel and very powerful hacking tools like Eternal Blue to the Shadow Brokers group.
