I hope Kim is on hold with Comcast, and the recorded message is trying to get him to buy home security services....

I say melt them!

No porn or Chiefsplanet in North Korea today.

If we have a cyberwar with some country, no one is better than us. We have the best coders and ready to go medieval on someone with off the grid slap downs.

The problem is that our electric grids, power plants, water treatment plants etc. are vulnerable as hell. They are easily cracked with password crackers and not updating their infrastructure on a regular basis. I bet 99% don't even fix zero day vulnerabilities.

Just thought of something, the hackers had said they had more sensitive Sony information that they would release if Sony made any more trouble. (Sony sort of acknowledged that more sensitive info was probably stolen)

Perhaps the USA decided to indefinitely kill NK's internet in part to stop the hackers? I imagine they'd still need China's help for a long-term solution, the hackers would just need to sneak a flash drive out or something.

So who isn't posting today that normally shows up on a Monday? Maybe they're North Korean.

Well anybody who doesn't post today is obviously a NK commie bastard!

North Koreas hackers are based in Europe.

Did the terrorists still win?

@timalamo: Breaking news: Sony has authorized screenings of THE INTERVIEW on Christmas Day. We are making shows available within the hour. #Victory

Only if they are connected to the Internet. There are actually some very good security people on the SCADA side.

All of them have to connect to the internet at some point. May not be a direct connection but its still a connection.

Iran's nuclear plant had absolutely no connections to the internet and we still got Stuxnet in there.

Some talking head on tv just said it will be available for viewing in KC.

No, they don't. EMS and SCADA do not require a connection to the Internet.

It wasn't their reactor. It was their centrifuges, specifically the PLCs which controlled them. But you are correct that it wasn't connected to the Internet. It was delivered by other means.

I'm suddenly interested in seeing this and am thinking of scrapping my original xmas plans to stand in line and spend money I wouldn't have to see such a controversial movie.
