There has been a computer attack going on since July 4th coming from North Korea and attacking the White House, the Pentagon, and the Washington Post, as well as other high-level institutions. Guess even North Korea can see the love between the Washington Post and Obama.

The Associated Press has obtained a list of the targets in a coordinated attack last weekend on US networks. Included on the list are the National Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, and the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Many analysts see the attacks as a test of the US government’s ability to deal with a coordinated cyber-attack.

The attacks on networks are the latest reminder that cyber-security remains a pressing concern in the 21st century. They may also be a sign that North Korea has stumbled across a new way to provoke its neighbors to the South and its enemies to the West.
