#2This article reads like an excerpt from a Vernor Vinge novel, in particular `Rainbows End`. Amazing.

#3This is occurring after the hacker group who claimed the attack (Guardians of Peace), sent the FBI a letter thanking them for blaming North Korea, calling the FBI the best (sic), and linked to a youtube video that called the FBI "an idiot".[1]

#5No offense (to any who might be vehement supporters of NK I guess, though I can't imagine there are many), but I can't imagine the NK internet is/was very big/strong/fault-tolerant.

#7I suspect this to be the work of the US government, but out of curiosity I wonder if there would be any legal consequences were Sony or another private party to launch a DDOS attack on North Korea from the US. Obviously no one would be extradited to NK, but I'm curious if that would run afoul of US law.
If not, it might be fun to create some software or a mobile app that would keep this going indefinitely. I imagine a "CrashNK" app would get alot of downloads.
