Yep, little show of force on someone's part.
A computer nerd's fantasy. "Hey, we are gonna give you an unlimited budget and the best equipment to come up with the most destructive virus you can." Then, now they get to see it in action.
I was surprised they actually unleashed a virus. Once you make a virus public, your adversaries are able to study and game plan accordingly.
I would guess that it's probably a fairly low-level virus compared to their true capability.
Who said it was a virus? Doesn't their internet access come from China? Appears to me more like China reprimanding their red headed stepchild .
They have a good bit. I think South Korea has some (I know they have other lines of communication).
China is a strategic ally. So I doubt they would turn off or ruin their connection. Secondly, all the reports have said the the outing has been "progressive" which would seem to support a virus over a cutting off of the lines.
