US Government Finds New Malware From North Korea (engadget.com)
Days after the historic North Korea-United States summit, the Department of Homeland Security issued a report on Thursday warning of a new variant of North Korean malware to look out for. Called Typeframe, the malware is able to download and install additional malware, proxies and trojans; modify firewalls; and connect to servers for additional instructions. Engadget reports: Since last May, the DHS has issued a slew of alerts and reports about North Korea's malicious cyber activity. The department also pointed out that North Korea has been hacking countries around the world since 2009. And of course, don't forget that the U.S. also labeled that country as the source of Wannacry cyberattack, which notably held data from the UK's National Health Service hostage, and wreaked havoc across Russia and Ukraine. CNN was first to report the news.

The lengths the deep state will go to try and distract and disrupt the historic acheivements of this president are truly amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a president so disrespected. The constant need to tear down everything he does is just, well, amazing.
Ask yourselves why North Korea and Russia are constantly made out to be this big threat, and why every other article is about "climate change" or how oppressed females allegedly are, or how bad Aryans are.
I want to point out that WannaCry was built on an exploit from the NSA (The ShadowBrokers leak). If the NSA had spent half as much time defending the internet as they do attacking it, then WannaCry never would have happened. Furthermore if admins had been up on their patches, they wouldn't have been hit by the attack. Finally, if admins had been doing proper backups, they wouldn't have needed to pay to get it unlocked.
So there are multiple layers of fuckup in WannaCry.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
With every peace talk any american politician starts, immediately the detractors come out and demonize the other party. This time it was Trump who did the talking, so obviously CNN makes the Brutus, trying to kill the talks and provide a way for more war. Last time with Iran and Cuba by Obama, it was of course Fox.
Fuck off, both of you CNN and Fox combined, may you rot in hell where all you war criminals belong.
Saying that the malware is from NK does not mean that NK's government had anything to do with it.
I'm sure that there have been more than a few instances of malware that started their life in the USA as well.
File under 'M' for 'Manic ranting'
Imagine THAT! CNN trying to provoke a war to defeat peace so they can get a dig in at the president.
malware by the deep state, it's a sabotage.
Linux? iOS? Android? Solaris? BSD? give us a clue...
Slashdot, fix the reply notifications... You won't get away with it...
Convenient timing by any means.
deserves a repost

I'm not a fan of Trump, but I do believe you're right that 'reports' such as the above and other such activities, are part of a strategy by the deep state to depose a sitting President, a palace coup in all but name.
Vault 8 the CIA's Malware Control System.
Let them starve; their nukes won't matter.

CNN is trying to find anything they can. Of course there is malware available. We've been in an undeclared war for many decades.
Russia and North Korea are bad because they attack us, you fucking traitor.
from the singapore psycho* summit?

As someone who works in the cyber industry; guess what. I want proof. If you have PROOF that NK actually has functioning internet to do this then I'll believe you. But they DONT. Most if not all their computers are Red Star OS; I find it HARD TO BELIEVE that they have the tools necessary to even get hack tools like debuggers, etc for Windows.
What I'm saying is, prove it; it should not be hard to release a list of fucking IPs that report which C&C is in use.
Then again, if they were releasing "new malware" they most likely using tor2web and YOU CANNOT KNOW anyways. So fuck off DHS; you guys cannot even keep your own network secure let alone warning about foreign security threats.
One of the first steps to achieving tyranny is to attack and discredit the free press, especially the free press that publishes bad things about you.
Trump has done an excellent job at that, as is shown by the generalized anti-CNN sentiment expressed here on a daily basis.
It helps when you have an uneducated, gullible fan base that will take at face value every single tweet you publish.
"I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot someone, and I still wouldn't lose any voters."
Yep, that pretty much sums up the character of Trump supporters.
Wannacry is based on an exploit called EternalBlue developed by the NSA. That North Koreas may have picked up a copy and re-targeted it demonstrates the threat of unchecked proliferation of such weapons by irresponsible organizations.
Have gnu, will travel.
The con artist will defend this malware, just like he defended North Korea's brutal regime and its dictator, or the way he defends Putin and Russia's deliberate bombing of hospitals and civilians in Syria.
He'll probably even apologize for this malware simply because he admires dictators.
Yet, here it is, on Slashdot's(of all places!) front page as if it is fact. You people are no better than the Guardian or the Post! Pure war mongering propaganda, just like Iraq and Afghanistan. Murdoch made Hearst look like a choirboy!
The deep state/globalists/whoever. Are pushing this story hard.
They can't STAND that trump gets credit. They'd rather we all die!
they are like TASS of the cold war era.
NO CREDIBILITY AT ALL.
Rush Limbaugh has been criticizing media bias since the 80s. The difference is that Trump is now doing the same..... Those right wing radio hosts probably know more about politics than Trump.
What we need to do is just blow NK to bits. Put 3 carrier groups offshore and just blow up every single bridge, railroad center, missile site, power plant, factory, and all other signs of modern infrastructure until it's been bombed back to the stone age. This should make CNN happy because they're doing every single thing in their power to try and make it happen.
That's why you need international experts and negotiators rather than some orange blimp needing some propaganda display to offset his twitlering treatment of allies who refuse to act like serfs.
You need to learn what "liberal" actually means.
OK, asshole? The only "whacko"s are conservatives whose beliefs and values are not based in reality.
ALL of their positions are wrong because they are not based on reality.
Just after I take a dump there's this crap in the news? Both are crap? Eerie crap connection? I'm sure CNN thinks so.
> I find it HARD TO BELIEVE that they have the tools necessary to even get hack tools like debuggers, etc
So your theory is that a company which can build nukes can't download these debuggers from Microsoft?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-...
Are they also unable to download https://x64dbg.com/
And all of these?

Vernon? There's a reason we fired you.
That should of course say "country", not "company".
That sounds like Assad randomly deciding to gas his own people just as he's about to win the Syrian conflict and US troops are withdrawing. But governement fanboys will again rationalize this by saying that surely we're giving them too much credit.
Was this one included in the USB fans given to reporters during the NK - US summit? ;) :D
North Korea isn't the United States. Internet access isn't even available to private citizens. It used only for government purposes.
Foreign guests such as diplomats are of course often granted access to use the North Korean internet to communicate with their home countries. Which falls under the "government purposes" category, because it's not done for the convenience of the foreigners.
North Korea is also a place where merely disagreeing with Dear Leader will get you publicly executed. Nobody in NK is secretly installing backbone cables out of NK to secretly attack the US and Western Europe without permission from the government. If you're going to risk your life illegally accessing the internet, you don't do it for that purpose.
There are criminal hackers in RUSSIA, so when attacks come from Russia we have to try to figure out whether they are state-sponsored or not. Often, is it easy to know, hard to prove. North Korea is nothing like Russia, though. Attacks from North Korea, and generally any packets from North Korea, come from the government network, as part of government operations.
the vault 7 releases all pretty much show that the CIA can make it look like a it came from anywhere they want
