The North Korean Hacker Charges: Line-Drawing as a Necessary but not Sufficient Part of Deterrence
In an article at Daily Beast a few days ago, Jake Williams (who previously worked for NSA) criticized the U.S. government for charging a North Korean hacker in connection with the 2014 operation that caused extensive damage to Sony Pictures.

These are admirable but misplaced concerns. The charges are a step in the (too-slow) process of establishing redlines fo... more »
