I wouldn't be too suspicious. The guy's career is built on reputation. He wouldn't risk it for a silly joke. Besides, if you ask most anyone in cybersec, they will tell you that this is very, very possible. Multiple governments have used similar things before, albeit perhaps not all at once (or perhaps they have, but it hasn't been released publicly). The only suspicious thing is why HE was the target.
