North Korea's 'Hidden Cobra' is wreaking havoc across the globe

BY COLIN DAILEDA

The North Korean government is very good at hacking—and they're targeting media, aerospace, and financial companies in the United States.

The country was behind some of the most headline-grabbing hacks of the 21st century, according to an alert put out Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Those hackers — for some reason referred to as "Hidden Cobra" in the report (why not camouflaged cobra? Alliteration!) — have also been called the Lazarus Group and Guardians of Peace.

The Guardians of Peace committed what Deadline described as "the most devastating cyber-crime ever committed against an American corporation" in 2014. North Korean government hackers broke into Sony Pictures Entertainment in what was believed to be "retribution" of sorts for Sony's production of a Seth Rogen and James Franco movie called The Interview, which featured a plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

P!

[neverevergiveup]

Maybe it's time to push our own narrative about how the DNC has been colluding with North Korea, using Dennis Rodman as a go between..

You are right about changing the narrative. Trump should open criminal probe of his own against Hildebeast and Dems. Playing defense won't get them off his back. They are waging bruising war of attrition, hoping to turn him into a hollow shell.

I only thought that the Russians did hacking.

Why isn’t N Korea cut off from the Internet?

The NK portal to the internet is through China, we can’t stop it for a number of reasons. But then, that’s how we access them....

Companies use subcontractors and vendors who don’t secure their access points, and their own employees accidentally let hackers in, their probably is no ultimately solution for absolute security.

Like Snowden, someone motivated could remove a hard drive from a PC, very hard to stop. There will always be repair techs that can access any data.

Private users have no good excuse for getting hacked. Many have bootleg copies of Windows that they can’t register and get updates for and then are too cheap to buy security software or updates.

There is no bug that Microsoft hasn’t seen and countered with its Defender. The updates and patches are automatic. But you have to pay for authorized apps, no sympathy for hacked.

[Alas Babylon!]

You are right about changing the narrative.

The "narrative" is owned and controlled by the DNC-MSM Siamese twins, and nothing but brutal surgery will ever change that.

I wish we could change the narrative, but the bastards will never give up control without a fight.

We can "Resist" by avoiding them; never watch; never read; never shop or buy and ALWAYS vote and vote conservative.
