certainly appears that they met their match this time.
question though:
If this was indeed a foreign 'nation-state', why are the FBI investigating it? i would have thought international cyberterrorism was a bit higher on the foodchain, like NSA?

@naikarrah 👍🏿 I think the crime is in FBI jurisdiction.

🤔 'The hackers compromised FireEye and stole its internal hacking tools using "a novel combination of techniques not witnessed by us or our partners in the past," CEO Kevin Mandia said in a blog post Tuesday.'

this sounds pretty bad... how badly could it turn out?
why do you suppose it was specifically FireEye?

@naikarrah It'll turn out very badly for FireEye unless the hack was truly 'novel' and nobody did something stupid. Reputation is important. Plus their hack tools will be on the market maybe. I dunno.
