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."

what about al-Qaeda?

I think it's much more dangerous a dispersed group like al-qaeda that doesn't have any centralized structure but can act as a big group. Korea is not a big threat because they don't have the education to form 500 hackers nor the resources. But al-qaeda members are going to our universities and using the same broadband conections we use.
I would focus on protecting systems rather than trying to spot hackers.
