First, what the war-promoting, agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM is NOT telling you:
"Federal Web Sites Knocked Out by Cyber Attack
"Officials: N. Korea believed behind cyber attacks South Korean intelligence officials believe North Korea or pro-Pyongyang forces committed cyber attacks that paralyzed major South Korean and U.S. government Web sites, aides to two lawmakers said Wednesday.
"This reeks of a false-flag setup." -- Wake the Flock Up
"White House among targets of sweeping cyber attack
The powerful attack that overwhelmed computers at U.S. and South Korean government agencies for days was even broader than initially realized, also targeting the White House, the Pentagon and the New York Stock Exchange.
Other targets of the attack included the National Security Agency, Homeland Security Department, State Department, the Nasdaq stock market and The Washington Post, according to an early analysis of the malicious software used in the attacks. Many of the organizations appeared to successfully blunt the sustained computer assaults.
"Aside from accessing secret data, we could also set off deliberate explosions, just by programming a re-route of the pipelines," the Shin Bet veteran said.
Another method of sabotage mentioned in the report was the use of malware -- a commonly used abbreviation for 'malicious software' -- to "corrupt, commandeer or crash the controls of sensitive sites like uranium enrichment plants"

Now the CRAP PROPAGANDA that passes in my nation as a newspaper.
"Websites still hobbled by attack; US, South Korea agencies were hit" by Choe Sang-Hun and John Markoff, New York Times | July 9, 2009
SEOUL - A wave of cyberattacks aimed at 27 American and South Korean government agencies and commercial websites temporarily jammed more than a third of them over the past five days, and several sites remained stalled or extremely slow yesterday.
Officials and computer specialists in the United States said that the attacks were unsophisticated and relatively small scale, and that their origins had not yet been determined....
“This is not a simple attack by an individual hacker, but appears to be thoroughly planned and executed by a specific organization or on a state level,’’ the South Korean spy agency, the National Intelligence Service, said....
And WE KNOW where THAT FINGER is POINTING!!!!
"Why would North Korea, which wishes to AVOID a war with the US, do something so obviously provocative? This is a setup." -- Wake the Flock Up
"Not N. Korean but Israel's Cyberwarfare pros at work?
Cyberwarfare teams nestle deep within Israel's spy agencies, which have rich experience in traditional sabotage techniques and are cloaked in official secrecy and censorship.
They can draw on the know-how of Israeli commercial firms that are among the world's hi-tech leaders and whose staff are often veterans of elite military intelligence computer units.
Technolytics Institute, an American consultancy, last year rated Israel the sixth-biggest "cyber warfare threat," after China, Russia, Iran, France and "extremist/terrorist groups."
