"The results contradict assertions made by some in the US and South Korean governments that North Korea was behind the attack. Security analysts had been skeptical of the claims, which were reportedly made in off-the-record briefings and for which proof was never delivered."
Exactly. As I said before claiming NK did it is utter nonsense. They don't have the resources for it.
- ErrantX 17y agoI've met North Koreans who are reasonably savvy crackers. Similairly there are a few rich NK's with the resources to purchase a bot net from a russian gang. This attack isnt rocket science (either in ability or cost).
- onreact-com 17y agoDid you actually read the article? They traced it to the UK.
- ErrantX 17y agoQuote: through this has been able to discover the master server. That server has an IP address in the 195.90.118.x range, Nguyen said. The address is registered to Global Digital Broadcast in the UK. The server is in the UK. That means nothing (believe me - this is my job :)).
- onreact-com 17y agoAt least they traced something. The other guys just said it's NK without even testing.
- onreact-com 17y agoBtw. how do you actually meet North Koreans? It's not like they are allowed o travel everywhere. Also usually people aren't let into NK and even if they do visit the NK the secret police is following every step.
