      6) What's new? NSA malware staging servers getting hacked by a rival is not new. A rival publicly demonstrating they have done so is.

      7) Why did they do it? No one knows, but I suspect this is more diplomacy than intelligence, related to the escalation around the DNC hack.

      8) Circumstantial evidence and conventional wisdom indicates Russian responsibility. Here's why that is significant:

      9) This leak is likely a warning that someone can prove US responsibility for any attacks that originated from this malware server.

      10) That could have significant foreign policy consequences. Particularly if any of those operations targeted US allies.

      12) Accordingly, this may be an effort to influence the calculus of decision-makers wondering how sharply to respond to the DNC hacks.

      Bonus: When I came forward, NSA would have migrated offensive operations to new servers as a precaution - it's cheap and easy. So? So...

      The undetected hacker squatting on this NSA server lost access in June 2013. Rare public data point on the positive results of the leak.

          @JanieBlakely The malware dates to a time that shows hacker lost access when Snowden's info revealed. You're welcome, NSA. The end.

          Not necessarily that 1:1. More likely that his/her means of access was shut down as security was updated/increased.

          But whether or not we detected it (we may not have), it says, "We were aware of this malware all this time."
