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."

    This should be modded up too. Moderators forget to look at topics subjectively and without prejudice. Altho the article is about hacking, this person's post can be interpretted as the cause which made this effect.

    With that said, I agree that the US had a hand at making this problem. I disagree that the US was in the wrong. Everyone needs to live though. Situations like these are proof that some problems have no answers. Both parties....or should i say ALL parties involved here are at fault.
