before i get on with what i have to say, i have something to say to the moderators
i read the debate rules, and saw nothing against this in this part of the forum, but if it is not allowed, please, PLEASE close this topic immediatly
my dad works for U.S. bank, and when ig ot home from vacation he told me about something. he does networking. stuff like fixing connections. when he worked for best buy, he worked with the geek squad (most of whom have no godly idea what their doing) but he said that there had been several DOS (denial of service) attacks at U.S. bank. Im not going to say what country did it (i think thats why i got in trouble before) but i will tell you why it happened. The country that attacked them thought that because US bank had US in it that it was a government agency.
i would like to know what your thoughts are. one more thing, i will tell you one thing about the country. We dont exactly have good relations witht hem...
so what do you guys thin, is this the breeze before the storm? the dark clouds int he sky? The chipmunk yelling "bloody murder"?
seriousely, this has me really worried...

You should relax, kid. North Korea can't do much more than attacking a few sites.
They're just an insect that can be squashed at any time, and they know it.

my dad may have aughed it off, but he told us that is was pretty major, but they took care of it.

Calm down, man. DoS attacks are relatively harmless as a whole and in general. Read this: http://www.pcworld.c...tml?tk=rel_news
It wasn't a sophisticated cyberterrorist onslaught, it was a group of hackers trying to strike out. I can't see why you're worried.

I've heard that they even try to hack into the president's computer. But they haven't succeded YET.
I know, this sounds ridicolous, but my father told me that the North Koreans said that they wnated to infect almost every web page in the world. This may include Tes Nexus...
