Computer attack may not have originated in North Korea after all

Evidence has surfaced that the denial-of-service attacks that crippled dozens of U.S. and South Korean web sites last week may not have been perpetrated by North Korea, as widely surmised. Bkis Security has just disclosed analysis showing that 166,908 botted... » Full Story on USATODAY.com

Given that North Korean technology is a good 20-30 years behind America and the west, I somehow doubt they would have the capacity to pull this off. Educated folk in North Korea have a tendency to get kulled in random purges.

More Americans need to become interested in technological advancements and computer science, and quit wasting time on sports and rap careers

We're quickly falling behind as a nation, and in a few years when the economy is still tanking and chinese cyberterrorists learn to outsmart our best techies, where will we be then?

Get out of the past people. Hell, I still know a ridiculous amount of individuals that can't even turn a computer on. This scares me immensely, considering 1 in 3 cinese children responded 'hacker' when polled as to what they'd like to be as an adult.

The following comment FOOLS posted on a July 11, 2009 Yahoo message board, toward an Associated Press article regarding North Korea as the coordinating force of the computer hacking against U.S. State-owned computers: "condition of anonymity" has been mentioned 200 times in AP articles Since 01 January 2009. In this article "unidentified senior ruling party official" and "South Korea's main spy agency — said it couldn't confirm the report" are both construed as a condition of anonymity. "Cite the source you Associated Press chumps-- if it was really said. BAM!!

Good thing we didn't bomb them before doing a little more research. Should have done that 6 years ago.

North Korea could as any third world nation could hire people to hack for them. I'm saying this is so but could be.
Could be it is someone in the USA or the Uk, we may never know for sure. There are people in both countries that hate the free world or just showing off their skills that would or could do this.
Seems we have a government here in the US bent on destroying the nation from within and don't need any out side help.

OFF TOPIC "BUT" you must know that Al Gore is in Europe pushing "cap & trade" and Geithner pushing the "dollar". They are both using the term "global governance"; yes, those two forbidden words are now a part of our vocabulary. The other countries are laughing and waiting to pick up the pieces.

"VOTE THEM ALL OUT IN 2010" !! 200 of them sent packing will send the message.

And to think, this comes on the heels of Obama asking to be given the power to shut down the Internet in case of emergencies, such as cyber attacks?? Curious, isn't it?

Dang, and I thought Kim Jong il had grown a brain stem.

The only good thing about all of this is that it shows they still have to steal their ideas from US. When people are no longer trying to steal our stuff that's when you know we have fallen from #1. As much as our school systems suck we still produce the best minds in the world. China, India, other Asian countries... they are producing lots of people who can use technology and are great at copying ideas. But I would take 1 American engineer over 10 Chinese.

Just another article by the AP that they don't know what they're talking about. Seems to me they would at least confirm their sources and stories before they go splattering it out across the news releases.
