Him talking so openly to a major news outlet and warm response of us gov officials point towards that
I 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…

Not sure how that'd interact with 2nd amendment issues (but it did come into conflict with the 1st).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, the world certainly loves Nelson Mandela.
But doesn't love Osama Bin Laden, although Afghanistan certainly suffered more from US involvement than the US has suffered from North Korea, whose people it killed millions of.

The 2nd amendment already has interpretation questions around the first half -- the "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," clause. It could go in any number of directions, from expanding "arms" to include "digital arms" to reducing the right only to "as part of a well regulated militia." See: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/second_amendment But I wouldn't bet money on the right e…
OTOH, the SCOTUS has achieved a political supermajority and will probably move much faster with policy changes now.
It'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.
North Korea has Rodong Sinmun, which has an online edition in English. People interested in North Korean politics do read this newspaper. - Website: http://www.rodong.rep.kp/en/ - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodong_Sinmun
> 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 o…
In fairness, the bear poked him first...

Encryption was considered a weapon previously, which resulted in an export ban. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_...
So your tools get stolen and you take down possibly critical infrastructure for huge numbers of people? Terrorism. Imagine someone did that to America in response to the NSA hacking them (read, most of the world's population all the time since the Bush administration). We celebrate that when it's done to official enemies.
The North Korean regime just needs to come in from the cold, like Gaddafi did, which certainly worked out well for him and the Libyan people.

That this article exists it a manifest of his failed OpSec... if you are a hacker and you are popular for it, you aren't doing a good job.
