South blames North

Recently in South Korea there has been cyber attacks causing their banking and broadcasting systems to fail and they decided to accuse North Korea of these attacks. It appears that the codes used in the attack are very common codes used by North Korea in the past. With the tension between the US and Korea this just makes things worse because they may use these codes to shut down south Korean defense and then attack which would be completely catastrophic. The North Korean news was extremely delayed in talking about this. 48,000 computers were affected and companies nationwide suffered the consequences.
