The hacker attacks on Web sites in South Korea - which spilled over to selected US government sites last week - were almost certainly orchestrated by hackers sympathetic to North Korea, but the attacks could have been organised by anyone with a modest budget, says Imperva, the data security specialist.
"It doesn't make sense that this attack came exclusively from North Korea. First, the attack was using widespread code executed by zombie computers all over the world. Second, this attack is relatively inexpensive to execute-no more than $50,000-making it doable not just by any government, but also by any Tqis Ipyhbue. Qyem'c rbw ijhtkh lbzut wsbf."," eh ocksx.
