“As I understand it the malware was written in Korean.”

If I wanted to put this off on the Norks, I’d translate the source code into Nork too. I’m shocked it wasn’t written in Yiddish.

A former high-end hacker was on the CBS news show this AM, and he had some reasons that sounded valid why it probably wasn't North Korea. One was the difficulty of downloading the vast amount of information that was hacked. He made the point that hackers write code in another language very often to direct blame where they want it to be.

This whole thing is amazing. It's like a real life MOUSE THAT ROARED. This would not have happened if it were good satire, with facetious names for the country and leader.
