those pirated copies of windows are probably so dangerous, who knows what kind of malware comes along for the ride, it would be like passing the same women around to millions of men...
- pmjordan 16y agoWithout internet access, does it really matter?
- philthy 16y agoI pray you don't work in IT...
- pmjordan 16y agoI get the impression there aren't many corporate IT departments in NK. Not sure what your point is. In any case, most malware these days is designed to either steal information and phone home or make the infected computer part of a botnet or both. Without an internet connection (whether the PC is in a LAN or not), the practical risk is pretty minimal.
- nitrogen 16y agoNK would still be vulnerable to something similar to Stuxnet. A highly-targeted sneakernet-based attack could be used to very, very slowly migrate information from flash drive to flash drive into and out of NK, or for sabotage.
- pmjordan 16y agoOh, absolutely. But a targeted attack with that level of sophistication is hardly going to let a few Windows updates get in its way.
- philthy 16y agoKey point everyone forgets in today's IT sector and you said it yourself is LAN. To say NK lacks LANs is foolish, to maintain any kind of the military or industrial operations they have, requires some form of LAN, as do any type of similar thing anywhere in the world. Plus forgetting the internal LAN setups, NK has it's own state run nets used for commerce and operations with neighboring China.
- warfangle 16y agoThe article was incorrect on this account - NK distributes its own flavor of Linux.
