So if the reds start parachuting down over your community you should just sit pretty lest you interfere with your military’s operations? The equivalence is not a false one in my eyes because a cyberattack against a US national’s systems should be seen as an attack on a US national’s property.

>So if the reds start parachuting down over your community you should just sit pretty lest you interfere with your military’s operations? I imagine you would be told to evacuate if possible but I'm sure the military would prefer you just don't get involved. Civilians should stay out of warfare.

If they send a small aircraft onto your territory you shouldn't light it up with all your SAMs and take it down, because that will allow them to locate your SAMs for SEAD.

So that guy downloaded some random "hacking tool" a friend of his found, and no shit it had a backdoor. He was never directly targeted by the North Koreans.

  NK did personally target security researchers for compromise. See the TAG post referenced inTFA.

Wow, the 'Reds' is a term which I had not seen in a while, feels like I'm watching an early 80's cold war movie.

Maybe the CIA/NSA were all over inside the North Korean networks, thanks to the weak security, monitoring their emails (do they use emails?) or probably even inside their mobile networks monitoring the North Korean elites' texts to each other. Meanwhile this kid comes in screaming "Leeeeroy Jenkins!" making the North Koreans aware of their shit security. A parachute attack is different to stealth spy missions...
