A few months ago, there was an "OMG Global Warming!" story here on Slashdot that reported atmospheric CO2 levels rising more than expected - based on measuring CO2 on a friggin a volcano!
If you're talking about the Keeling Curve, it is known to be accurate, based on similar measurements taken all around the world.
No credible scientists is predicting the end of the world. Nor have the ever done so
Well yes, actually they have. Here's one saying that the oceans will boil off. Quote: "that's it for all the species on this planet." That's James Hansen, one of the leading climate scientists in the world.
employment of less skilled but competent workers.
There aren't many of those. If they are competent, they get skills pretty quickly.
But Sony did clearly not even have the basic level of protection they needed in place.
True, Sony could (should) have made it a lot harder.
Who makes bikinis for weiners?
Who else but PETA?
You have no clue.
Well that's definitely not true lol
All you need is security good enough to keep the attackers out. The trick is to find what level that requires.
Against a targeted, skilled attack, there is no level that is good enough to keep them out.
Or maybe we can just send a few bloviating politicians over and throw in some mass drops of MP3 players loaded with Sony tunes on the country.
There's a North Korean who escaped to South Korea. He now sends balloons across the border with various messages. He's stated that he's planning on sending balloons with DVDs of the movie.
While the need to protect sensitive sources and methods precludes us from sharing all of this information, our conclusion is based, in part, on the following:
* Technical analysis of the data deletion malware used in this attack revealed links to other malware that the FBI knows North Korean actors previously developed. For example, there were similarities in specific lines of code, encryption algorithms, data deletion methods, and compromised networks.
* The FBI also observed significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the U.S. government has previously linked directly to North Korea. For example, the FBI discovered that several Internet protocol (IP) addresses associated with known North Korean infrastructure communicated with IP addresses that were hardcoded into the data deletion malware used in this attack.
* Separately, the tools used in the SPE attack have similarities to a cyber attack in March of last year against South Korean banks and media outlets, which was carried out by North Korea.
