But yeah, chances are, if you want to hear it, it's true.

You have me confused with a liberal.

Or truthy.

A bit of the liberal lexicon. Maybe you have me confused with yourself.

Or maybe it's that other thing... that "not true" thing.

Don't know anything about this blog, but I do know that about 95% of so-called security hacks, leaks, and exposures have some [and usually, exclusively] insider involvement. I suspect that's true in the instant case, and think it's probably unlikely that North Korea is involved. Anonymous said it is not, and their track record is certainly better than this bloggers. The "hackers" themselves deny that they're Norks, FWIW.

Was Edward Snowden a low-level "network administrator" contractor who just happened to have extraordinary access? Or was he, as some co-workers described him "a genius among geniuses?" Did he really leak damaging information, or was it a controlled release of methods that was going to come out anyway? Or is he part of an NSA disinformation legend? Is the US energy grid really vulnerable? Or is that a fund-raising gimmick for counter-intel agencies? Or a honey trap?

With regard to what we are told about cybercrime, very little of it is true, and when it intersects intelligence agencies' agendas, none of it is true at all. None.

As Crazyhorse says in post 23: An insider feeding data to the NK is more believable than a bunch of warrior NK hackers.

Yep. North Korea doesn't have the resources to produce a truly world-class group of warrior hackers

Communism must force productivity and thus lacks the ability to produce genius. True hackers are going to come from a place where prosperity is the reward. When prosperity is denied to producers/geniuses, production/genius withers. Reagan was right -- communism is a self-destroying system, doomed to fail. So the idea that there are some driven genius NK hackers at hand ... is far fetched.

That truth makes me think that North Korea is a pawn here.
