Default FBI warns US businesses of 'destructive' malware

I got a popup today on my computer from Norton about this issue.

The FBI warned U.*. businesses that hackers have used malicious software to launch destructive attacks in the United States, following a devastating cyberattack last week at Sony Pictures Entertainment.

FBI: Unknown hackers released major malware in US.

Yeah man, I heard about that, I have not read the whole story, but I heard it may have been by North Korea, as they were mad that the movie with Seth Rogen, The Interview.

"They promised "merciless" retaliation if a forthcoming Hollywood movie about killing Kim Jong-un is released."

They will do anything for attention. I say we leave SK, and let them hash it out between themselves.

Where is NK getting the rxpertise to conduct cyber attacks? It is thought NK is about 15 years behind on technology.

This video is worth seeing- what it is really like in NK:

They are probably getting the technology from big brother China. From the looks of Wiki, NK'* internet has only 1 ISP and its a satellite feed to Germany. I guess they have no OC connection to anywhere.
