Just had an idea, don't keep nuclear secrets online maybe?

[jmc]

This is old news, they have been doing it for years.

[qwill]

I would have guessed all these things were air gapped

[daveh]

They should write a letter of Complaint!

[ArdelR]

Always makes me laugh, the absolute opaqueness of these stories. Just like the playground bullies who go around telling everybody who your friends should be. OK, so now the BBC have pushed the government narrative, remember to tell everyone how bad North Koreans are at your next dinner party.

As if we don’t already have enough going on

why does this title give me team america world police vibes

[lowfatmofat]

Never would have happened if you keep them in a filing cabinet.

They stored sensitive data on the Internet? It's not North Koreans' fault even if it's stolen because US and UK chose to store such a sensitive data on the Internet. I mean they shouldn't put on something that is accessible remotely. Of course storing it in something that is accessible remotely is very easy to access from a lot of places, but it's too risky and hence, they shouldn't have stored like that.

Anyone know anything about any “launch codes”

[wjfcxqs]

I wish they added this feature in HOI4

[OscarSouth]

I had better make sure my nuclear secrets are protected extra safely in a passworded zip file

[MIKKI]

No shit 😂.
Theres me thinking what a nice country NKorea is.

[LuiExcalibur]

They probably are looking for negative wavelengths that work in the -1 part of e=mc^2

[rubensano]

We are not that dissimilar then. The only real difference between the North Koreans and us is that they won't be overwhelmed by immigration in 5-10 years.

[gpadd_ow]

they are looking to upgrade there 1960s weapon systems😂😂

[tonymcadam]

They also have unicorns and Kim Jong Un can resurrect the dead! Truly an amazing place. And foreigners visiting North Korea can access the internet from there. Meanwhile, does anyone remember when the UK hacked into 97 United States military and NASA computers over a 13-month period between February 2001 and March 2002?

[TG-tsxn]

If that’s true then N.Korea is the one place we know it’s the government. Therefore immediate military action must take place.

Oh wait no, we’re weak now for some reason.

[direshsinath]

Must the Movie "The BeeKeeper" and see who's the real Hackers

[Roland_Tr_Swing]

Its always going on .what do you think UK operatives are doing in GCHQ ? Doing crosswords?
