Question: How does it feel spending years to launch a highly sophisticated and elaborate attack only to end up being caught within a week of its execution?

This actor is probably a group outside the US. I'm here just to see who they really are.

Outsid US? Why? Because you say it? Show us evidence, because until now, US has show that they are capable of anything. Don't be blind here or a better word is NAIVE. NSA... PRISM... Oh, your memory is gone, sorry to hurt your feelings.

smart move

Could be anyone, maybe even with motives that have nothing to do with exploiting systems.

Maybe a big software vendor (or a bunch of them) got together and come up with a psyOp to show the world how vulnerable open source software is.

Only to have the plan backfire based on how quick it got caught...

The last commit though,

[harindersinghk]

@ebenali the very fact that such an obscure, complex and obfuscated exploit got caught on so quickly just shows what open source is capable of. This was not just sheer luck.

This is just what has been caught, and those who are successful are snickering. Don't take it lightly!
