Many of you might remember the distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks that hampered several US websites about a year ago. The source of the attacks appeared to come from North Korea. Now, the US says that there is no conclusive evidence that the attacks came from North Korea at all. This is very common. A good hacker will attack a system from a non-friendly nation state. In other words if you want to attack the U.S., use a North Korea computer to do it because there is little if any cooperation in working to identify the culprit. Of course the computer in North Korea would be controlled by one in the U.K. which would be controlled by one in Iran, etc. These are the standard tactics experienced hackers use to keep from getting caught. In this particular DDOS attack case they say that it is very unlikely that the culprit will ever be found.
