That's cause you tried to connect to a truncated URL:
http://customnews.cnn.com/cnews/pna.show_story?p_art_id=255957&p_section_nam
And not to:
http://customnews.cnn.com/cnews/pna.show_story?p_art_id=255957&p_section_nam
e=Sci-Tech (Watch them line wraps).
The article references http://www.kisa.or.kr/ (Korean font). They (Korean
Intelligence Services Agency) did not invented anything new. Don't put any
weight in the statement "world's first anti-hacking program". SecurDr
appears to be a cops or satan like tool (both old 'anti-hacking programs'),
SecuLog creates and retrieves data from 200 duplicate copies of a log file.
Big deal.
Commentary follows:
I spent a year near the Korean DMZ, I learned that the bogosity factor there
is extremely high due to the daily practice of Propaganda from both North
and South Korea. Each day leaflets drop from the sky along the DMZ,
loudspeakers boast about their position vs. the opposition. South Korea has
no choice but to respond in kind. Note that Propaganda (Psy Ops) is
continually practiced in every country, and usually only obvious on return
from absence from a country.
Be aware that social issues such as lies and theft are not as scorned there
as in Western cultures. Example: If you leave something unattended and it
gets stolen, it's assumed that you did not want it. The fault is placed on
you and not the 'slicky-boy' (actual term) who took the item out of your
tent or vehicle. 'Caveat Emptor' is also the rule in the stores, as many of
the goods are fake name-brand copies.
This is not a slam on Korean culture, just a note that value systems of
different cultures have different priorities due to circumstance. American
culture has serious shortcomings in the view of other cultures.
