| Three broadcasters -- KBS, MBC and YTN, three banks -- Shinhan, Nonghyup and Jeju, and two insurance firms reported to the National Police Agency (NPA) that their computer networks were entirely halted around 2 p.m. for unknown reasons, police said. Woori Bank, a leading lender in Seoul, also came under an apparent hacking attack at the same time but managed to defend its computer networks through an internal system. |
Attacking a nation's banking system - pretty close to a declaration of war, IMO. |

| Yup. And the attacks occured just as CNN was reporting B52s flying over South Korea. The question is: Was that a message being sent back and by who? The Chinese have as much to feel uncomfortable from those B52s as the Norks do. |

It is pretty much an act of war. Except for MBC. That was just civic responsibility  |

I'm sorry but how is any of this going to affect life at school tomorrow?
A few computers froze and somebody mentioned something about an airplane flying around. I don't see what the big deal is. |

| I think Beijing was just showing that the next ime it could be air traffic control or the transportation grid or the electrical grid. A little flexing on both sides. Before negotiations begin. |
