Thread: Now its North Korea

North Korea's Unit 180, the cyber warfare cell that worries the West

North Korea's Unit 180, the cyber warfare cell that worries the West - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Yesterday it was China last week Russia now North Korea.

These people have a damn cheek preventing the west spying on them or retaliating in any way. Why cant they understand that when the west does it it is a matter of national security but when they do it it is a cyber or other form of crime.
I note that story is full of "Is likely to", "Could", "Might"

And finally "No conclusive proof has been provided"But who needs proof all we need is allegations and the right people will believe.

They said "could" because the recent malware shared code that they've used in the past.

They also said it could have been cut and pasted, because it wasn't a very clever piece of malware, to few wallets used, kill switch, etc.

I think you should save your indignation for something that actually fucking matters.

VAULT 7: WIKILEAKS PUBLISHES NEW CIA DOCUMENTS ON WINDOWS MALWARE

CIA documents concerning malware designed for Windows computers were published online Friday as part of WikiLeaks latest “Vault 7” dump.
The malware, known as “Athena,” targets Microsoft operating systems from 2001’s Windows XP to the company’s current Windows 10 release.
Dates on the documents, which range from September 2015 to February 2016, reveal the CIA’s ability to hack Windows 10 only months after it became available to the public.

Yes, slowly ramping up the vilification of NK.
A prelude to a swathe of "pre-emptive" strikes vital for US and SK security.
Need public tacit acquiescence which will be in the form of outrage at NK's actions.

There's a bit more to be done yet, though. The public is not nearly outraged enough yet.
We've had the starving orphans, the pauper elderly, the concentration camps, the slaughter of families of escapees etc. The stories just have to hit middle America a bit closer. None of the rednecks give a hoot about some slope orphans. What will it be? Possibly a virus that hits their I-phones. That will hurt enough maybe.
Burkas and beating women did it for Pre Afghan invasion. WOMD for Iraq.

The capacity to strike the US would certainly be a big deterrent to a pre-emptive strike, as it is there are those in the US who see the destruction of the Korean peninsula as acceptable to prevent that threat, from this site :

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said this week that he supported striking North Korea to stop it from developing the capability to reach the United States with a missile — even if that came at a huge cost for the region. "It would be terrible, but the war would be over [in South Korea], it wouldn't be here," Graham said in an interview with NBC.

So who cares if millions die as long as its not here. But they found out with Vietnam that it did matter to some, in particular the young people who organised 'stop the war' demos.

The thing is, NK has never threatened the US except in retaliation. It's another BS WOMD scare.
And yeah, very callous of Graham.

The thing is, they have.

In an escalating war of words with the U.S., North Korea warned Thursday of a "super-mighty preemptive strike" that would reduce American military forces in South Korea and the U.S. mainland "to ashes," according to The Rodong Sinmun, official newspaper of North Korea's Workers' Party.

In 2016, it was revealed that North Korea approached the United States about conducting formal peace talks to formally end the war.

Haven't they learned a lot?

The U.S. dropped a total of 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, on Korea, more than during the whole Pacific campaign of World War II.[308][309]

Almost every substantial building in North Korea was destroyed as a result.[310][311] The war's highest-ranking American POW, U.S. Major General William F. Dean,[312] reported that the majority of North Korean cities and villages he saw were either rubble or snow-covered wasteland.[313][314] North Korean factories, schools, hospitals, and government offices were forced to move underground, and air defenses were "non-existent."[309] In November 1950, the North Korean leadership instructed their population to build dugouts and mud huts and to dig underground tunnels, in order to solve the acute housing problem.[315] U.S. Air Force General Curtis LeMay commented, "we went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, some way or another, and some in South Korea, too."[316] Pyongyang, which saw 75 percent of its area destroyed, was so devastated that bombing was halted as there were no longer any worthy targets.[317][318]

By the end of the campaign, US bombers had difficulty in finding targets and were reduced to bombing footbridges or jettisoning their bombs into the sea.[320]

I think that report might be incomplete.
A "super-mighty preemptive strike" IF the USA continues to unnecessarily and unprovoked...

Just a guess.
