First of all, for example, if the company that was under attack by shannon had it's backup plan, the damage won't be that big.
Secondly, if it was created because of political reasons, I don't think that political agencies will allow weak people to work inside, so it's not going to be an attak caused from inside ( for this situation).
Finally, if its going to be executed from outside then as he said, it's going to need some information to get into the network, and some credentials.
It is a good tool, but not the best.

The attack replaces the deleted files with JPEG images - obstructing any potential file recovery by the victim. This is bad
