Nope, per fireye, the toolset had to be released because of it being
stolen, was not "in the wild"
Going to get really interesting to see what comes of this, two federal
agencies just happen to get hit shortly after. 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.

Not saying you are wrong.
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.
