Pyongyangology is an inexact science at best but something sure seems to be going on

Hack attempts are mostly proxied through multiple compromised computers all over the Internet so we have to use certain attack signatures to classify them. On a good day I can look at an attack swarm against my networks and say "that's Russia" or "that's China". This weekend the North Korea signatures are off the damn chart, up about 2000% from normal.

I don't know that the rumors about Kim being in a coma or whatever are true, but something sure as hell seems to be going on.

Mostly against random websites hoping they're running wordpress, and the attack string is naive compared to the one the Russian bots tend to use.
