NEW: U.S. prosecutors say the hacking tools that Peter "Doogie" Williams stole from defense contractor L3Harris Trenchant could have been used against "millions of computers and devices" worldwide.
The prosecutors also confirmed that Williams "stood idly by while another employee of the company was essentially blamed" for his own actions, as we first reported last year.
Williams said he didn't know the tools could end up in the hands of Russia or other governments.
