South Korea Hacked

In Seoul  South Korea a malware has been released shutting down 32,000 computers and servers while also shutting down three TV networks and three banks causing a disruptive in business negotiations.  They found a computer in Seoul that was responsible for this but it can take weeks or even several months for the investigations to finish.  It is possible that North Korea is behind the attack as they are training "Cyber-Warriors" that are trained abroad in Russia and China.  They are trained to become hackers and they are all students from North Korea.  There has been no proof yet that North Korea was behind the attack but even if they were behind the attack there is no point for South Korea to retaliate against North Korea as it would be useless and will only cause more problems.   I think there is a possibility that North Korea will attack soon with their armies if they are attacking via online.  I do not think that hacking should be a thing as the only thing that comes out of hacking is chaos if everyone online was true then the internet would be trusted and there would be close to no frauds at all.

Major Concepts

• North Korea wants to attack South Korea and The United States of America
• Computers, Servers, TV shows, and banks have been hacked already in Seoul
• North Korea is training Cyber warriors that are trained to hack online

Potential Strengths/Advantages

• People are getting to build more protective websites and this causes our technology knowledge to grow more and more.  The more knowledge we have about technology the better our world can become so that we can advance in humanity.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

• People will get mad and there will be chaos if there are people hacking because hacking causes problems and it will benefit no one and nothing so there is no reason to hack unless you want to cause chaos.Any country can start a world war and there is a very high possibility that North Korea will start the Third World War

Discussion Questions

• How do you feel about hacking?
• Is it possible for everyone in the world to hack each other?
