A single-sourced, anonymous, piece like this one wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be making the front page of widely read publications. Is this something HN can fix? When I vote something up (as I did with the article mentioned), I'm thin

Which is what he speculated South Korea as having done, right? The most probable situation here (if it actually occurred) is that South Korea owns a certificate authority that is accepted by browsers and did a MITM attack with their own go
