This week's cyber attacks on South Korea are believed to have been mounted from 16 different countries but North Korea was not among them, Seoul's spy agency was quoted as saying Friday. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) told legislators the attacks were tracked to 86 Internet protocol addresses from 16 countries including the United States, Japan, China and Guatemala, the lawmakers said.
Just wondering why the MSM article buried that fact.
SEOUL - South Korea is learning more about the mysterious cyber attacks that targeted the country and its ally the United States, but the ultimate question of who the instigators are remained elusive.
Yeah, right. More like being COVERED UP!
The state-run Korea Communications Commission said yesterday that it had identified and blocked five Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses in five countries used to distribute computer viruses that caused the wave of website outages in the two countries that began in the United States on July 4. None were from North Korea, which South Korean officials suspect might have been involved.
The IP addresses - the Web equivalent of a street address or phone number - may point to the computers that distributed the virus that triggered so-called denial of service attacks. In such assaults, floods of computers try to connect to a single site at the same time, overwhelming the server and making it inaccessible or unstable.
The addresses were in Austria, Georgia, Germany, South Korea, and the United States, a commission official said....
The STENCH of MOSSAD just got that much stronger!
Speculation over who was responsible for the attacks that targeted high-profile websites including those of the White House and South Korea’s presidential Blue House, had centered on North Korea.... And though circumstantial evidence pointing to involvement by the North or those sympathetic to it has been trickling out since word of the attacks emerged earlier this week, the identity of the IP addresses themselves provides little in the way of clarity.
Quit wasting my time, MSM, with this nothing journalism.
That is because it is probable that the hackers, whoever they are, used the addresses to disguise themselves - for instance, by accessing the computers from a remote location. IP addresses can also be faked or masked, hiding their true location.
Yup, WHOEVER they are!
At any rate....
Yeah, WHATEVER, 'eh, newspaper?! Don't want to LOOK THERE!
The commission official also said that South Korea blocked another 86 IP addresses in 16 countries that were used to spread different viruses that damaged hard disks or files in computers they contaminated. The commission said that 356 such cases were reported in South Korea by late yesterday.
You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say the MSM was trying to conceal something.
Most of the finger-pointing at North Korea has come from South Korea’s main spy agency, the National Intelligence Service - though not directly. Allegations have been relayed to the public via members of parliament’s intelligence committee who have been briefed on the attacks in writing and verbally.
It's called SCAPEGOATING!
The lawmakers have said North Korea was believed suspect given a threat it made in state media last month, in which it boasted of being “fully ready for any form of high-tech war.’’
That DIRT POOR, STARVING little nation can launch a WORLDWIDE COMPUTER ATTACK?
If such things are BASED on BOATS, then WHY is ISRAEL not the FIRST ONE LOOKED AT?
Yesterday, the spy agency briefed lawmakers on circumstantial and technical reasons for believing North Korea could be behind the assaults, ruling party lawmaker Chung Chin-sup said without elaborating.
Believe, could be, if, maybe, still, but, SICK of the S*** JOURNALISM!!!!!
But the agency also cautioned it was too early to conclude the North was responsible because probes were still underway, according to Park Young-sun, another member of the intelligence committee.
Actually, WE KNOW WHO it is!!!!

Internet Attack Propaganda Increases as Cyber Bill Approaches
The new alleged threat and accompanying propaganda comes as Senate Commerce Chairman John (Jay) Rockefeller prepares for a July committee vote on cybersecurity legislation he introduced in April with Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. One of the bill’s most controversial provisions would give the president the power to effectively shut off the Internet during a cyber crisis similar to the one now threatening PCs, according to South Korea and its U.S. created intelligence agency.
Gee, what a COINKY-DINK!
