A group that performs an actual attack, hands the result to a nation state adversary, and doesn't publish the results either before or after (except in the abstract of a withdrawn talk) is hardly the "loyal opposition". edit: Academics are not Obama's proverbial JV team. One should expect them to be as smart as those working for internal agencies, if somewhat less focused on attacking real-world systems. It seems that in this case, the only difference is that they're somewhat worse at keeping secrets, but given that the talk was withdrawn, it's not that they didn't try. So I don't see the grounds for the implicit suggestion in the quoted tweets that they aren't 'real' adversaries.
