North Korea's School For Hackers?

Posted by simoniker on from the if-in-doubt-consult-bond-movie dept.

Makoto writes "How do you launch a cyber-war with no IP infrastructure? South Korea claims that North Korea is training about 100 "cybersoldiers" per year in electronic warfighting tools and techniques, including writing viruses and hacking. But according to a story at Wired News, North Korea can barely keep its electrical grid up - not to mention feed its people. Even the Pentagon says North Korea's hacker academy is probably just propaganda by South Korea."

    And if North Korea doesn't have nukes, they damn well shouldn't be trying to give the impression that they do given their history of murdering South Korean politicians and kidnapping Japanese kids to go along with their "starve the masses" food distribution system.

    So, what you're saying is that Clinton lied to Congress about a blowjob and he got impeached, but Bush lied to congress about chemical weapons and won't be impeached?

    You stupid fuck.

    Just because you think that this was the reason for invading, doesn't make it so.

    If you really believe that the US government acts out of concern for other than their own, you must be severly deranged.

    PS! I'm not saying that acting out of concern for your own is bad, but don't make it sound like a heroic effort motivated by a concern for humankind. The real question is, was the motive that of economy or national security?

    And what group of US citizens had the most to gain economically?

  5. After having fucked up royally in Iraq by theolein · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    and finding out that's it's much harder to keep a country than defeat it, the empty warheads in the pentagon are now urging caution and not invasion, even though this country (NK) has openly admitted having WMD and has threatened to use them, as opposed to Iraq where now, finally, after months of pure unadulterated crap, people in the UK and the US of short_attention_span A are finally starting to realise that Bush, Blair and co. pulled a fast one on them.
