Sure, more than an idle threat to you, but only
because you waited too long to mitigate or prevent the
usability or an exploit on your systems, or you didn't
prevent remote/networked access prior to now.  What's
new about this?  What's especially scary?  Nothing.

These kids are full of piss and wind.  Increasing age
prevents an inexhaustible supply of them.  Humor them.
 It's funny to watch them rant about the coming
apocalypse of blackhat justice.
