Why do you think that?
Well as I said, they're a third-world country. I can't see them having the technology to be able to hack into any of our government websites, which I would have to assume are the best protected websites in the world.
I see. I think you are laboring under the misapprehension that in order to be successful at "hacking" one must have an extensive array of high tech equipment. Thus, a super power would have an advantage over a third world country. This is not the case.
Cyber-warfare is the ultimate in asymmetric warfare. All you need, depending on what you are doing, is a PC, some free tools and the knowledge to make them work. There are some other things you can do that involve botnets, but they probably aren't using those for this exercise.
Well I admit that I don't know anything about hacking but I can't imagine that it could be done to the United States by North Korea. Obviously I'm far from an authority on the subject but I think it's highly unlikely.
