Its more, but...

What about propaganda for the Rockefeller cybersecurity legislation?

I didn't think about it, but you're exactly right. They are certainly leveraging it that way, even if they didn't create it.

Its a strange attack - NK wouldn't have done something this silly. It looks like something a teenager would have done - but I also don't think there are a lot of fan boy hackers who think NK is cool and want to support their interests. You see islamist stuff like that, but generally speaking people in NK don't have Internet access.

Its possible that there are people in SK who think NK is cool. I've never run into that but I guess such a subculture wouldn't be completely surprising.

However, on many levels your theory makes more sense. In particular, I don't think an NK fanboy would have been savvy enough to do it on the 4th of July at the same time as an NK missile launch - it was too well timed.

The implications of this are disturbing.
