North Korea Training "Cyberwarriors" Abroad

jfruhlinger writes "A North Korean defector claims that the secretive totalitarian state is nurturing a team of "cyberwarriors," identifying young people with computer skills and sending them abroad to learn the latest hacking techniques, while lavishing privileges on their families at home to keep them loyal. This could lead to an escalation in tensions, especially given that the US military believes that cyberattacks from foreign countries constitute acts of war."

Re:"acts of war"

WAKE UP, PEOPLE. It's the 4th time this week that I see a "news" about countries in Asia having plans to destroy the Nation with so called "cyber warriors". There's no such thing as a war only by moving bits on the internet. A war that kills people by thousands is what the Obama administration is doing in Afganistan, Irak, Lybia. This has nothing to do with what these "articles" are mentioning, and which goal is to let you believe that the government must do something about it. There's no "act of war" threat, appart from the one of your own government.
