#2I would have advised him to stay quiet about this. Not out of fear of the North Koreans, but out of fear of our own security agencies seeing the activity as interfering in international relations. Also the vagueness of our hacking laws probably make what he did a crime.
But I also am immensely proud that we have people willing to take things into their own hands when needed.
Also, I feel like the 2nd amendment should be interpreted to include the right to bear digital arms (strong encryption for a start). This will probably take another decade to figure out what that would really mean.

#3> So after a year of letting his resentment simmer, P4x has taken matters into his own hands. “It felt like the right thing to do here. If they don’t see we have teeth, it’s just going to keep coming,” says the hacker.
Frankly, I feel that international relations are going poorly enough without vigilantes poking the bear. And also, I doubt that bringing down their network infrastructure will have the desired effect of them lessening the cyber-attack capabilities.

#4I wonder if it's the same P4 that I was accustomed too on video game modding forums and similar places.
Curious indeed. But even going on wired to brag about it, I wonder.

Good luck, we're having enough trouble protecting our normal arms.

#6It's easy to accuse North Korea. They can't practically respond to the accusations because they have no outlet anyone reads, and if anyone did then nobody would care anyway.

I think we definitely need some additional rights listed to account for digital. GDPR seems like a good start to give people more ownership of their data, but in the US we still have basically no data rights or protection against searches of digital content that you don't physically host.

#8So now they're probably patching their vulns, or at least they're aware of them, resulting in an overall better security for NK.

Encryption was considered a weapon previously, which resulted in an export ban.

Implying that the hacking attributed to NK might have been a false flag?
