My initial impression — and I by no means have any handle on the specific situation, is that this whole thing had nothing whatsoever to do with Wil, and everything to do with testing a capability.
Wil happened to walk in on a type of weapons test. I think the attack in this case would be considered a “success”. Or was it just for lulz?
Was there any cost to the attackers? Are they throwaway accounts or real identities? Is it at least forever tied to that account so that there could possibly be some future reackoning?
So many questions about the whole incident and response.
