there’s no “allegedly” about it. These countries do it and they do it openly. Or do you really think that there’s a bunch of really good North Korean hackers with the time and money to be stealing crypto in sophisticated attacks with no association to the government?

And I see the cyber realm as an alternative to missiles and bombs. Yes it’s like another sanction - why do you think sanctions are bad? It puts the onus on the country leader to figure it out without the help we give them.

Also what crime did i commit? The US and much of the world don’t even recognize NK as a country, they’re a terrorist state. If hitting a terrorist state with a simple cyber attack is “too much war community” for you what do you suggest? That we ask real nice? I think we’ve tried that. It didn’t go well.

Also let me clarify - I hit NK’s internet. The people of north korea DO NOT have access to the internet. It is the elites and the government only. So literally no civilian was harmed. It really doesn’t get any more targeted than that. I’m not advocating for hitting innocent civilians with attacks all day. Hit the ones causing the pain and suffering for their own people and others.

This shit needs to stop from NK because they literally give 0 fucks what they do to us. They hit our civilians, hell they kidnap people, torture them, and murder them (see the Warmbier case).

Either way, always up for suggestions! What route would you go down? What would you do about this?
