North Korea 'hackers steal US-South Korea war plans'

a reply to: evc1shop

And I wasn't suggesting that it was all out there, only that information that should be secure isn't always as secure as people think, despite how long hacking has happened to military related systems.

Assuming they got vital information it would be kinda like Brady vs the Colts defense. You know what's coming but you can't stop it. Just my opinion.

Not all of this is coming from the military though. A staggering amount comes off contractor computers. A lot of what China got over the last few years came from contractors and sub contractors of various programs.

But an actual tactical battle system and battle plan?

My lord.

Please tell me it could also be purposely easy to spread disinformation or pass bugs...

Just so I can sleep a little better.

From last year:

A US Army general says North Korea has some of the world's best hackers

North Korea has approximately 6,000 trained hackers in its military ranks, a defector from the country told the BBC. The defector taught computer science at a Pyongyang University and said many of his former students went on to the hacking unit known as Bureau 121.

...He estimated that between 10% to 20% of the regime's military budget is being spent on online operations.

Nope. Shouldn't be underestimated at all.

Wait , hold on...
What happened to the US , Russia , and China
I thought they had the best ?
Especially Russia.

There does exist such a thing called "honeypots"
Look it up....
Nuff Said

and a plan to assassinate North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.

And people wonder why NK is the way it is.

Just imagine this in reverse! It would be instant war.

Again. This is at least the second time they got 5051. They apparently just update it and stick it back on the server to get hacked.

In other words its a BS file that they set up so th eNK's think they ar ebeing clever right?

This is probably phantom test to monitor who is capable of hacking specific server hotells.

AND YET UFOs are STILL secret.

No.

a reply to: spy66

Yeah, honeypots as Goth called them.

a reply to: Illumimasontruth

You guys are vastly overestimating our network security.

a reply to: Zaphod58

It's more a tactical plan than the network issue imo. Like knowing an infantry will collapse and using it as distraction for another fronts assault.

It's very possible information is placed in non secure network with the purpose of disinformation or spreading virus. In order for that to work only the highest in command would know.

Of course it could be as bad as having battle plans on your Tandy 5000 but I would hope not.

OH!
CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN UPGRADED?

a reply to: cavtrooper7

I would just hope the top info is in a place only the highest people know of.

But maybe we have failed to address the most important part of warfare, strategy?

a reply to: luthier

We 'll MAKE it up as we go along as usual.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

Like send people out without the proper armor?

I hope that we learn every now and then when you put humans out there you should at least give them the best chance to win.

I liked our NBC gear in Desert Storm and the M8 ALARMS we were told to turn off, because of the noise.
Damned things all read SARIN.

a reply to: luthier

My buddy that I was talking to earlier, could have copied almost anything he wanted to from a secure network. He even could have sat there reading about programs he wasn't supposed to have access to.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

Yeah I have a friend who hasn't taken a solid crap since. He was a paratrooper.
