This just in. North Korea is sending its malware packets programmed in DOS 3.3 format which only works against computers made before 1995.

In all seriousness.. does North Korea really want to go Cyber War against the South?

Um duh? Buy any HP product, including a printer and watch them load their crap ton of malware on it. This isn't news, it's common sense.

I think its pretty clear its from North Korea when the seed's upload speed is under 12KB/s, and GTA V is only 4KB.

in the other news US is injecting malware in every legal copy of program

What, are South Koreans running their computers with no protection whatsoever? What kind of serious gamer these days doesn't have at least 2 or 3 levels of protection on their computer?

Holy shit, my PC is broadcasting an IP, to international servers! Someone call SWAT!

The US, shining the spotlight on imaginery cyber threats to keep you looking at the fact that they are the world's biggest cyber threat by far. Including bugging the phones of leaders of so called ally states. The boogeyman is closer to home than you imagine.

You have to be a special kind of person to download a 4kb file named GTA V for PC.
