Title: bureau 121 hackers could kill
Post by: Rooftop on May 29, 2015, 06:27:12 AM
I nearly added this to the prepper thread as it seems a viable threat. No real new information here, other than the size of the bureau, but an interesting piece about North Korea's notorious military hackers.

Jackets?

Autocorrect version of "hackers?"

Prof Kim left the country in 2004. How does he know what N. Korean capabilities are?

"Their cyber-attacks could have similar impacts as military attacks, killing people and destroying cities."

This seems like hyperbole to me.
