- teruakohatu 6y agoWould you really expect state sponsored hackers to drop references to Korea? They are either European and don't mind anyone knowing, Europeans who accidently dropped hints, or not European and want people to think they are.
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 6y agoHypothesis A: These are European hackers. Hypothesis B: There are North Korean hackers who have mastered English, an enemy language whose speakers they have almost no interactive exposure to, to such an extent that they can, in real time, simulate the subtle mannerisms of another, completely unrelated set of non-native speakers of English. Take your pick.

- projektfu 6y agoGoogle translate seems to jump to "take a step" for most languages I've tried that usually say "make/do a step". So this is likely someone with a little English but not knowing the idioms. Might have done better with Google translate.
