EPTNorth Koreans cyber attacks consist mainly of broad attacks, simply striking whoever is vulnerable.
Now if you wanted to see what South Korea could do if all of its best minds were unleashed on the world....

If you watch the video, former cyber-warfare intelligence operatives and university professors who defected to South Korea talk about what the North's interests are and some of their capabilities (in addition to high-tech assassination attempts). Couldn't have said it better myself, anyone that has followed the news in the past few years would understand that. Mendrea, you believe because a Country does not provide basic essentials such as electricity makes a country not up to par technologically, which makes me laugh. | ||

The keyword was warfare if I recall. Not hitting up banks and airports. And its not fair if we don't measure South Korea's cyber warfare capabilities as well. Hacking is easier than defending against hacks anyway. Also saying South korea is at a disadvantage because they are too busy playing video games. What the fuck logic is that? South Korea has a big smoking problem. Im waiting for the Al Jazeera article saying that South Korea is at a disadvantage because if North Korea attacks everyone in South Korea will be on smoke break. | ||

Not to be biased or racist, but I also find it laughable that Al Jazeera is making unprofessional comments about cyber warfare when their own countries in the middle-east such as Iran were planning on running Nuclear energy off Windows. In which case failed miserably when "anonymous country" decided to hack them. | ||

Sure South Korea plays games, but there's also South Korean online security firms, programmers, analysts, hackers, and all sorts of things. In North Korea there's none of that except for small, poorly-funded government IT guys and cyber-agents. Games are a big business nowadays, and security is important. Proper hack-resistant coding mechanisms, network security procedures, encryption and authentication systems, and other things are certainly applicable to game technology and business technology, to which South Korea has a ton of both. The combination of South Korea's economy and tech environment/access alone is so much greater than North Korea's, and makes it far more powerful in an online environment. North Korea's biggest advantage defensively is also it's biggest disadvantage offensively — it's isolation. If North Korea was to get any sort of virus spread, they couldn't use it to steal anything (at least not easily), they could only only destroy stuff. While that doesn't mean it couldn't cause damage, it does mean it's less beneficial for them (it would just get the world angrier at them if detected without any direct benefit to them). North Korea being a cyber threat is a ridiculous joke — that story/documentary sounds more stupid than a Fox news report. | ||

Calling GOM one of the nation's top rating TV shows? Saying Koreans care less about the Olympics than e-sports? I'll watch the rest (or as much as I can stomache) but like most pieces done of video games and e-sports by mainstream media this looks like hardly any effort was put in. Of course I'm sure the nation that can't even correcly launch an ICBM could successfully wage cyberwarfare against one of the most technologically advanced nations. | ||

and to be completely honest, north korea is like 20 years in the past regarding technology and knowledge.... and this gameing addiction part was a bullshit as well....there are tons of people overdoin some kind of sport or somthing and i bet i could find partents who let their children die while they where doin something else in every activity out there.....be it sports or going to the casino, or even chatting in chatrooms or using facebook....that are just retarded people...and if they wouldn t be addicted to gaming they would probably be addicted to something else like drugs alcohol gambling or whatever that are just individual cases that doesn t matter at all. overall a really really bad and pointless docu.... | ||

North Korea lacks any plan to WIN a war in any way against South Korea any more... all they can really do is pray that their artillery threatening to raze Seoul to the ground is enough to perpetuate a standoff until the end of time. | ||

They've had years defending outdated 4pools- and now, they've had just the same amount of time defending 6pools. No issue, and we can probably except a really fast GG unless the Chinese interfere- which they won't, I don't recall where, but I remember the Chinese government releasing a statement comparing NK with a rebellious child. | ||
