Cyber security firm FireEye announced on Tuesday that a sophisticated group of hackers, likely state-sponsored, broke into its network and stole tools the company's experts developed to simulate real attackers and test the security of its customers.
While this is a worrying development, it's unlikely that this will result in a significant risk increase to organisations, as some offensive tool leaks did in the past.
