Australia Vulnerable to Korean Hacking Army
Nan writes "An army of more than 500 hackers hired by the North Korean military could find Australian businesses a "softer target" than their U.S. or European-based counterparts, according to security experts. The hacking army's mission is to break into South Korean, Japanese and American corporate networks to gather intelligence and steal trade secrets, according to reports."
... Western countries unite in a global blocking campaign, virtually disconnecting North Korea from the internet, after a number of government-funded hacking threats from North Korea.

Last I checked you needed electricity to run a computer, and last satellite photo I saw, the North Koreans didn't have any of that.
I'm betting Aussie networks are safe from their North Korean TCP/Abacus layer attacks.
Whatever, and the CIA created AIDS to kill black people, but it got away from them.
Next!
Yeah well, they should stop giving hackers from N Korea moderation rights anyway... :)

Why do I continually get service probes and scans from Korea and Taiwan?
He must have come up with that idea while playing C&C:Generals. Since he's also rumored to be a great fan of pr0n he probably won't share his female superhackers with us. : /
Crikey! Do you blokes reckon that those little North Koreeun fellas would be able to hack into my beer recipes?
The most out-of-shape military force on Earth. Their base of operations is their parents' basements. Their rations consist entirely of pizza and Bawls. Their uniform is jeans and a shirt with either the word "w00t!" (for grunts) or the phrase "i read your e-mail" (for officers). Their recruitment literature looks like this:
HungLo2099: d000dz!!!!11!1!! u could 500000 pwn amerkians!!!1!!!!!

Trust me, I've seen it.
Writhe your naked ass to the mindless groove.
As a closet Australian, I'd just to like to reassure everyone out there that there's nothing worth stealing in Australia anyway - not even information ... so it's all moot.
.... nothing to see here.
Move along

Whoa. Don't insult your fellow Slashdotters. It's perfectly normal for a 30-year-old to live in his parents' basement. And pizza makes a fine meal -- how else could I have grown to be so, uhm, big and strong?
I don't need a signature.
...... should have kept it an island for criminals I tell ya....

That's not a root kit.
Here. Now this is a root kit, mate.
Better idea: Spam them with GOATSE wallpapers for their desktops. They want "IP", give em more than they can stand!

With my sincerest apologies to Dr. Evil, South Park, and all the people in North Korea (where millions are suffering from starvation...)
This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Brought to you by the same people that guaranteed WMDs in Iraq and Osama captured within a year, and a link betwen them.
Wow, that Korean hacker training program must be tough... there were 600 of them a week ago.
Important note to script kiddies: When hunting for ASP-"enabled" web sites for testing your SQL-injection skills, use a North Korean web proxy.
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
HAVING CONSULTED WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE North Korean CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO REQUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF $47,500,000.00 (FORTY SEVEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) INTO YOUR ACCOUNTS.
The hacking army's mission is to break into South Korean, Japanese and American corporate networks to gather intelligence and steal trade secrets, according to reports.
Gather intelligence of non-existant plans for North Korean campaigns? And gather trade secrets to keep them competitive in what? Subsistance farming? What do they even produce? You could ship trade secrets by the boat load and it wouldn't do them a bit of good.
