North Korean Cyber Attacks?
I know I’m supposed to be on vacation but I had to call this to your attention.
You’ll continue to hear in the news about North Korea supposedly attacking US and South Korean websites and networks.
Isn’t it interesting that as one poster on Yahoo stated in their comments:
What bill is trying to become law in the United States? “Coincidentally”, the Cyber Security Act of 2009. This bill will give the President the power to declare a cybersecurity emergency and limit or shutdown network traffic to any network. (SEC 18, 2). The President will also have the power to order the disconnection of any network (SEC 18,6) A few more cyber security attacks and this baby will be in business!
Now think about this folks for just a second logically.
North Korea cannot even get a satellite launched into space. Do you honestly think they can launch the kind of cyber attack that our government and the news media is expecting us to believe?
Give me a few proxies and I can make you believe North Korea is doing the same thing!
Are we being manipulated – once again – to further the government’s agenda to control the Internet?
Wake up people!

Another article that came out in Reuters today (7/9) has a paragraph that says, “One online expert was quoted as telling a South Korean daily that tracking the spread of the malicious software showed it had originated from an IP address based in United States.” Debbie’s comment in conjunction with this statement and EVERY article uses “suspected” or “believes” to be North Korea says that there is NO DIRECT EVIDENCE that they are the culprit. This is indicating that regardless of who is really causing these attacks, it’s being used to push this bill into existence.
The government may be able to control the internet by having the power to shut it down but it will NEVER be able to make it any more secure that it is now. Personally educating yourself is the ONLY key to that!!!
Many opponents of the bill are seeing this as the first stage of the end of Net Neutrality. It’s in your best interest to keep an eye on this because reversing it will be harder than preventing it.
Here’s the link to the Reuters article:
