Could be a milk run for something more serious. I think the US was somewhat late to the party in cyber-warfare. It has not been taken seriously enough, soon enough. I know our military is working on it, but we had better step on it and put increased resources to work, and quick, IMHO.
My brother, a retired Air Force IT guy, says the insiders were concerned about this as long as 15-20 years ago.
Also, we have been having an unusual amount of malware, phony e-mails, e-mail account hijacking and such at work lately. Anybody else seeing this? We always have occasional things, but much more lately.

My e-mail was down since Friday - at the ISP level. No idea what caused it. It's back working today.

We always have occasional things, but much more lately. We catch hundreds of thousands of spam emails each week and millions of malware / spyware hits each week. Haven't noticed any more or less than usual lately.

Personally if I was Sony I would have had a premier release of the film in South Korea and invited Kim Jung un to come on down and watch it but I don't have unscrupulous e-mails lurking around that could be hacked for blackmail and have me running away with my tail between my legs.

How about movie night on 3 or 4 carriers off their coast? And invite all the press?

Couldn't resist. Kim Jong-un and kim Jung-Il memes are some of my favorites.
