China had more to gain from this hack than Russia did, and they have been surprisingly cyber-active this year, so...
Nuclear missile codes are changed on a regular basis, and of course would be immediately changed upon discovery of a breach, so...
If this "White Hat" character ever worked in cyber security for the government, he most certainly doesn't now. They take a very dim view of releasing any information at all.
The biggest potential problem I can see with this breach is the potential for control of the computerized US power grid. Some web sites might go down temporarily, and some megacorporations might take one up the wazoo for a while, but all of that seems to have already been mitigated.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
