North Korea at it again

Either we are slipping or I missed this being posted in another thread.

Does this make anyone else really want to go see The Interview?

I think if I were Sony I would release The Interview on-line and for free to give the whole world unfettered access...

It was a dumb move to provoke a rogue government that doesn't play by anyone else's rules when you're unprepared to deal with the consequences.

Just for the record, I have never said anything bad about the communists in North Korea.

...hopefully that posted statement now keeps my bank account from getting hacked into. It's like when people copy and paste those privacy statements or whatever on their FB pages, thinking it will stop FB doing whatever they want with your information (which I'm sure they agreed to when they clicked 'I agree' before signing up).

Is nK within their rights, as a govt, to cyber-attack Sony (an intl corp) for an insult? Can the US, or Japanese, govt, or Sony, now cyber-attack nK companies?

When a foreign govt sponsors or performs a crippling hack on an international company with strong ties to the US, what's the proper response? And who should respond?

Sure, why not.

Does nK have any companies?

Torture.

The CIA.

Good. We're giving in to the demands of the terrorists. How about a big F YOU to the Jonger and release it for free to anyone who will air it over the airwaves, post a free download on their website, etc.

Weird that it's news now. Vice posted this to youtube almost four years ago.

Not sure why it took so long for the mainstream but this was the first I had heard of the export of labor from NK to countries they do business with.  

Export of illicit drugs is the one of the other sources of hard currency for the dear leader.

Follow on, I hope this convinces libs of the foolishness of nuclear disarmament, not responsible, verifiable reductions to reasonable levels of nuclear weapons but the idea that you could ever trust that all nuclear weapons have been eliminated when a piss poor communist thugocracy can scrape enough together to have fission and now fusion weapons and the means to deliver them.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
