WASHINGTON (AP) - A widespread computer attack that began July 4 knocked out the Web sites of the Treasury Department, the Secret Service and other U.S. agencies, and South Korean government sites also came under assault.

Obama will give them a strongly worded apology for being America.

How about Hussein’s teleprompter? Did his allies attack that as well?

Maybe. Has the teleprompter been heard from?

[jrd]

come on! this has to be utter BS

[DJ MacWoW]

I’m thinking that it’s not. AP wouldn’t write anything that would put Obama in a bad light and this certainly does.

They have computers??!?

What do they plug ‘em in to?

I envision a guy in an olive green uniform with a red star on his cap furiously peddling a bicycle generator outside a tent where a couple NoKo comrades are huddline around an old TRS-80.

Anyway, I bet it’s the Chinese doing the hacking... and making their tracks point back to the NoKo commies.

The article does say: Attacks on federal computer networks are common, ranging from nuisance hacking to more serious assaults, sometimes blamed on China.
