This isn't what happened, their weapons were exposed and adversaries now know about them. Their effectiveness is still greater than 0. Digital weapons are copied not stolen, this is the equivalent of russians sendig spies to the US to steal nuke secrerts and the they developed their own nuke. The fact that the US has nukes has nothing to do with their ability to keep secrets and keep out spies. Furthetmore, russians having nukes did not make american nukes ineffective, they simply lost an advantage and to be frank it was only a mattet of time. Just like with the cia hack. And it will happen again!
