maybe THAT'S what kimmy meant when he said he was going to hit u.s. on the fourth? doublespeaking nokos! anyway.

Wow, solid perfomance NK. I had to double click on the WaPo site twice yesterday when it timed out.

Maybe it was the teabaggers and/or fringe elements of the Confederate party (formerly the republicans) or other domestic terrorists. They're the ones claiming that 'government is the problem'. Maybe they should be investigated.

Did they use SECRET SAUCE?

A DDOS != hack...

Maybe it was the teabaggers

You realy have a thing for some guy sitting on your face.

duplicate story post.

this one is more politically correct.

are there any new hacker-specific laws in cybersecurity legislation we didn't already have under current law? We know Czars don't need to be legislatively approved.

Bush couldn't use a computer...no one would have noticed.

rhetorical?

yes, recall the supposed utility attacks? it was later admitted by cia that the level of sophistication required inside help.

also, 1 vote in favor of the anthrax attacks as synonymous (in purpose) to this.

Funny. They got the NSA and Homeland Security.

If a hacker wants to get you, I mean he really really wants to get you, you're toast.

Bush probably can't spell the word computer.

Obama is fighting back by broadcasting over the net complete copies of the stimulus bill. No one has ever been able to read it successfully past page one. Simultaneously they are spamming copies of Joe Bidens best speeches. The one two punch will have the commies begging for mercy.

There is no reason that nation shouldn't be a giant glass tourist attraction.

Ask yourself this question:

What would the NORKS possibly stand to gain from such a thing?

I call bullshit.

Egomaniacal dictators like Kim get a big kick out of poking a finger in the eye of their foes. What they would gain is the satisfaction of saying they did it.

Really, that's your answer the NORKS are high school kids?

Try again. The timing of this is way to convenient.
