I understand that North Korean government has a motive, but do they have enough technological ability to orchestrate such an attack? A country full of starving people and with one website opened a few years ago? I highly doubt it.

On the other hand I doubt any of the other few possible states (China or Russia) would turn to such demonstration of force against US unless they had something to gain from it.

What's left then? Some crazy group like 4chan or some errorists? They would be shouting "we did it" before you even heard the news about the attacks.

Oh well... back to square two.




It doesn't take talent to rent a botnet.


Exactly that's what I said. NK has no resources for such an endeavor. You need a whole "army" of hackers to wage a "cyber war". Did they import them?
