North Korean cyber attacks
What is Bureau 121? North Korea's cyberwarriors, a shadow organisation unknown by most individuals even in information technology only came to light after the defection of a North Korean dissident to the south.
North Korea, led by a young man of the internet age is particularly ambivalent to criticism, none more so when Sony Entertainment prepares to release a satirical movie of Kim Jong Un. A cyberattacker hacks into an administrator's account undetected, downloads a large volume of information then proceeds to release damaging emails embarrassing the corporation including pay rates and remuneration. Is this the North Korean version of Wikileaks? Then Sony folds and the release of the movie is cancelled - NK 1/Sony 0.
