I am from the same team & i can concur with what you are saying. I did see a warning about the same key that was used in todays exploit about 2 years ago from some random person in an email. but there was no exploutation till yesterday.
This is it. I had the same thing happen to me a year ago and there was a month between the original access to our system and the attack. And similarly they waited until a perceived lull in what might be org diligence (just prior to thanksgiving) to attack.
