> They can't outright claim they did it; because that would be an act of aggression.

really? a nation-state attacking a for-profit multi-national corporation with little more than embarrassing information is an "act of aggression"??

you better read up on your military history my friend.

Military history doesn't cover cyberwarfare. We're in uncharted territory here, and NK knows it wouldn't last long in a real war. So they want to get as close to war as they possibly can - classic brinksmanship tactics. But if the line is fuzzy and undefined, they're probably right to be cautious.

Violating US law by attacking a US company would certainly be seen as an act of aggression.

no it wouldn't, nor should it.

US companies get hacked all the time...have you not been reading the internet over the past, oh, 10 years?

also, there is still big doubts that the NK's did this.
