Well, it must be a coinky-dink that both the South Korean and US systems were affected at near the same time. I mean I doubt that little putz Kim Jong-il would, oh nevermind.

Everybody (and I mean everybody) keeps showing us how vulnerable our networks are...

I keep hoping they will make a bomb that will detect hackers/spammers... You push a button and a hacker/spammer, somewhere in the world, goes BOOM... God that would be cool.

Amen to that!

On the international level, I guess it's going to be tough to work out where these attacks really originated, but if it does point convincingly to North Korea what can be done about it, realistically?

Those folks are already under sanctions, and their leadership is so out there that diplomatic solutions are possibly the last thing on their minds.
