>“They caused a lot of damage and we will respond. We will respond proportionately and we will respond in a place and time and manner we choose,” the president said.

So I'm just going to ask, is the Sony hack going to be an excuse for us to intervene in NK?


Curious, is it possible to have a cyber sanction against NK? Block all Internet access in/out of the country.


It is possible but would it be effective? Not likely, several countries tried to do this to prevent the citizen uprising and it didn't work.

NK could just sent agents outside of the country, hack the data, and bring it back in. They can launch satcubes to create micro-nets to hook into the network.

The Internet is meant to be resilient against these type of blockages.


Wow I actually agree with Obama.
