      It’s a dumb move to make an already tense situation worse. WannaCry ranks so much lower on my NK concern ladder than say, you know, ICBMs.

      I'm not sure that I'm ready to agree with that statement; WannaCry hit a lot, a LOT of civilian targets, and blah blah blah implications of scale and range of non-lethal effects, cyber bullets etc.

      It hit a lot of things, but it wasn’t really all that targeted, and appears to be a premature release of it, right? I dunno, I’m just not as concerned about NK cyber as much as I am other traditional kinetic weapons.

      My point is I'm not buying that it's them. Typically their attacks have been much more targeted; there are nuances in the syntax of the code; it's been associated with a group that does frequent false flags; we have ulterior motives for blaming NK... that's where I'm sitting

      I'm with you (not a tech, but pretty smart abt this). You gotta explain the non-Lazarus code AND the fact this didn't serve an NK purpose.

          Non NK code could be from things they picked up from github, underground. Just because destructive attack hadn’t been an MO before doesn’t mean they can’t be behind it. Everyone’s gotta have an ace in the hole.

          Sure. And exactly the opposite could be used to support the opposite, non NK attribution.

          You’re also supposing that attribution was made solely based on malware analysis. There’s a lot more to it than that.

          Please DO NOT assume what I'm supposing. I'm not. I've got far more going on here than you can imagine.

          It’s all good. I’m short tempered due to driving all day. No worries.

          Twitter, where people can actually still be decent to each other by recognizing each other as human. I love it! Ok, g'nite y'all. For real this time. I hope the world doesn't blow up before the morning! :D

          eyo, I'm "not a tech" either, but I know some good ones. as I said earlier tonight, I don't actually know things; I just know people that know things, and I put it all together with a nice little bow on top ;)
