I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:North Korea has described new sanctions imposed in response to a major cyber-attack against Sony Pictures as part of a hostile and inflammatory US policy. The US placed sanctions on three North Korean organisations and 10 individuals after the FBI blamed Pyongyang for the cyber-attack. North Korea praised the attack on Sony but denied any involvement in it.

Quote:SIGNYM The hack is now widely seen by experts as the work of (a) disgruntled insider(s), not the product of N Korea. But despite the lack of clear evidence, Obama went forward with the sanctions anyway.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:With the investigation into last week’s cyberattack on Sony Pictures still ongoing, speculation is mounting that someone with knowledge of the company may have been involved in the hack. Earlier this week the finger of suspicion was pointed at North Korea over the mysterious hacking incident which crippled Sony Pictures' network. Now experts think that an insider may have been involved in the attack. The hackers knew their way around Sony Pictures’ IT infrastructure, according to Jaime Blasco, labs director of security management specialist AlienVault, who has reviewed samples of the malware used in the attack.
Quote:The FBI and the President may claim that the Hermit Kingdom is to blame for the most high-profile network breach in forever. But almost all signs point in another direction. All the evidence leads me to believe that the great Sony Pictures hack of 2014 is far more likely to be the work of one disgruntled employee facing a pink slip. I may be biased, but, as the director of security operations for DEF CON, the world’s largest hacker conference, and the principal security researcher for the world's leading mobile security company, Cloudflare, I think I am worth hearing out.

I didn't say that G never posted anything interesting, I said that YOU didn't. And you still don't.

Quote:But I see that neither your nor THUGR have made any comment about the peregrinations of Defense Minister Shoigu, so as usual you have nothing on-topic to say. And of course, no apology from you for being so totally wrong and evil-intentioned about my information and my contacts will ever be forthcoming -SIGNY
Quote:You're a bone head. I understood you wished to paint me as a goon. Like I said, G paid that post little mind.

Quote:The FBI's information on the hackings included IP addresses tracked back to North Korea. I heard this from someone on the inside. The North Korean's got sloppy.
Quote: And of course, no apology from you for being so totally wrong and evil-intentioned about my information and my contacts will ever be forthcoming -SIGNY Sorry, my focus has been on all the untruths and lies that permeate your posts.
Quote:When I see what you post it usually contains a large amount of quotes as though it is the article cut and pasted into the thread.
Quote: Then I see you have weaved untruths throughout subjectively and deceptively.
Quote:When you add that to how you misrepresent what I and others post,
Quote:it becomes impossible to speak to a topic you have thoroughly corrupted the way you and 1kiki do.

Sorry if it frustrates you that we manage to stay on the real topic, you need to learn to deal with that. Guns and bombs keeps Russia out. Do you have enough?
