#4I believe it's overdramatised.
The commotion in Bangladesh over missing $1B was bigger not so much because of money missing, but how it went undetected, and covered up.
BAL goondas preemptively abducted country's leading computer security guy, beaten him half dead, and made him shut-up for a mere prospect of him being involved into investigation.

#5> That North Korea would be the prime suspect in a case of cyber-crime might to some be a surprise.
Really? This is actually well-known (atleast amongst security agencies) [1][2]

#9Hmm, this reads more like cheap entertainment rather than rigorous reporting.
Was the Sony hack really done by the North Koreans [1]? "Journalists" just repeating what the FBI say make me doubt their seriousness.

It's well known among people who pay attention to these sorts of things, but a lot of otherwise well educated people seem to think that all of North Korea is a primitive backwater stuck in the 50s lacking any kind of technical sophistication.
