There was a great article I read about how North Korea actually has an advantage when it comes to cyber warfare. They have everything to gain and relatively little to lose since their infrastructure isn't set up like the rest of the world. We can't attack their power grids like they can ours. We know where they operate out of, and if we take them offline, they'll be back at it pretty quickly with no long term consequences.

The first amendment is directly under threat. I never though i'd see the day that Hollywood would be scared s*itless of North Korea and their Dictator.

Sheez.


Folks, the first amendment guarantees have absolutely nothing to do with what's going on here. I hear it on TV and the radio and it's saddens me that no one seems to have any idea that the first amendment prohibits the government from censoring speech because of the message. Sony not releasing the movie has nothing to do with the 1st amendment..

This is Civics 101. How are people still messing this up?

I'd call them digital vigilantes.

Their connection also runs through China, which complicates things.

This is also small time. If we hack their systems, the world, especially China and Russia (who trained the North Koreans and let the North Koreans on their networks), would be greatly interested in seeing our code. Basically, it's not worth giving our trade secrets/capabilities away.

They aren't really the white Knights you're making them or to be. Plenty of common folk are affected by their actions

Didn't mean to come across that way. I definitely disagree vehemently with some of their actions that I know of.

In today's presser, :birgits_giggle: Obola said the movie has the actors of Seth Rogen & James Flacco. I guess he wasn't reading his teleprompter right.

As much as I dislike Obama, he's right. Sony shouldn't have pulled the movie.

He's trying to act like a tough guy. He also said they should have called him, to which they responded "we did." He's so full of crap on everything.

Article on foxnews.com: North Korea is saying they're not involved or behind Sony's cyber attack of several email leaks or movie theater threats or the cancellation of any movie & they're offering a joint probe with US. North Korea says that if the US does not agree to the joint probe, they say there will be "grave consequences" says the state media of NK.

What's the libertarian answer to this attack?

Get better network security or get lost?

?

How on earth do you expect the Federal government to prevent hacking into a private company; unless you are advocating the Feds completely control the Internet in this country.

Besides, I was referring to how our dear leader was all about free speech and not giving in when it's a private company but tried to get a video pulled from the Internet that he had blamed for attacks against America.

Can't have it both ways.

Finally, it's ludicrous to suggest CEOs should be calling him directly to ask for advice on how to respond. That was pure monday morning QB arrogance.

WTF? Grave consequences?

NK: "We should work together on this."

US: "Eff off."

NK: "You need to work with us on this...or else!"

Of course knowing this Administration, they would likely respond with
