North Korea denies cyber attacks on South Korea officials
North Korea denies cyber attacks on South Korea officials
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea on Sunday denied that it conducted cyber attacks against officials from rival South Korea, calling the South's accusation that it did so a "fabrication".
South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers on Friday that North Korea had recently stepped up cyber attack efforts against the South and succeeded in hacking the mobile phones of 40 national security officials, according to members of parliament who received a closed-door briefing.
"The South is claiming the North's cyber attack and using it for its own political purpose," an opinion piece in the Rodong Sinmun, the official daily newspaper of the North's ruling party, said on Sunday.
It accused the South of making the cyber attack claim in order to justify a controversial new "anti-terrorism" law.
"There is nothing to expect but the sound of eating corpses from a crow's mouth. However, we cannot just overlook the South's abrupt, provocative, and heinous accusations against its neighbor,” the article said.
Earlier in the week, South Korea's National Intelligence Service also said North Korea had tried to hack into email accounts of South Korean railway workers in an attempt to attack the transport system's control system, although it said had interrupted the hacking attempt against the railway workers and closed off their email accounts.
South Korea has been on heightened alert against the threat of cyber attacks by North Korea after it conducted a nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch last month, triggering new U.N. sanctions.
Tensions are also heightened on the Korean peninsula as South Korea and the United States conduct annual joint military exercises that the South says are the largest ever and on Sunday included the arrival in South Korea of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C Stennis.
North Korea has denounced the exercises as "nuclear war moves" and threatened to respond with an all-out offensive.
The North denied South Korea's previous accusation that it conducted cyber attacks against the South's nuclear operator.
The United States accused North Korea of a cyber attack against Sony Pictures in 2014 that led to the studio cancelling the release of a comedy based on the fictional assassination of the country's leader, Kim Jong Un.
North Korea denied the accusation.

Desktop Theater Mode will let you play any Steam game with your Vive VR headset
Desktop Theater Mode will let you play any Steam game with your Vive VR headset
Like any piece of new technology, virtual reality needs a legacy mode to handle content not designed for VR. Soon, the HTC Vive (and other Steam VR headsets) will have just that, with "Desktop Theater Mode."
Unfortunately, we don't have any images of the feature yet, but it's safe to assume it will be very similar to the YouTube "Virtual Movie Theater" for Google Cardboard and Oculus Video, designed for the Oculus Rift and Gear VR. Both project a traditional display inside the virtual world, allowing you to view traditional 2D content on a rectangular plane.
Unlike those software solutions, however, Desktop Theater Mode would also work to play standard, non-VR games (like your entire Steam library) with your VR headset. You'll also likely be able to use the standard Windows desktop if you so desired, though reading text comfortably with such a setup might prove difficult. Third-party software for Oculus and the Vive currently supports this already: it's called Virtual Desktop (video below), but Valve's solution will be built-in.
Since it's a virtual environment, you'll conceivably be able to load up different "backgrounds," like a living room, and movie theater, or a desk, onto which the "display" will be projected. It has the benefit of cutting out real-world distractions, and loading up the Windows desktop could be useful in a pinch.
According to a brief press release, the new feature is currently in early beta, and it will be shown off for the first time at GDC in San Francisco next week. We'll be there.
TECH QUESTION : Saan/Paano makakabili ng abot-kaya at kalidad na Gadgets / PC Parts sa Pilipinas?
(TECH QUESTION: Where/How to buy cheap and quality assured Gadgets / PC Parts in the Philippines)
Kung tatanungin mo ang pangkaraniwang Juan mostly the answers would be:
“Sa Gilmore tol, kasi dun bagsakan ng mga pc parts at murang gadgets, syempre bagsakan dun kaya malamang mura yun. Saka dikit – dikit stores dun makakahanap ka agad ng gusto mo.”
“Sa Mall nalang pre, kahit mahal atleast assured ka na original yun diba? Yung iba kasi kaya mura ay dahil Fake or Class A.”
“Tingin ka muna reviews online kapatid, kung saan mataas ang ratings dun ka bumili.”
May point ang lahat ng opinion nila pero mas maganda kung susuriin ang bawat sagot to come up with your own opinion. Buying things usually sums up to these perspectives:
BUILD AND QUALITY
Be a keen observer! I personally suggest na kapag bibili ka ng isang produkto dapat makita mo siya ng harapan.(So ibig sabihin bawal nang bumili ng gamit Online? Hindi naman) Pero mas maganda kung nasusuri mo muna siya lalo na kung ayaw mong mag aksaya ng pera, may mga bumibili online na satisfied at meron ding hindi.
May mga kakilala ako na bumili ng gamit online at pagdating sa ay may mga kulang na parts or may damage talaga or minsan hindi talaga yun yung binibili nila! Be aware of what you purchase online, because sometimes they are not what they actually appear. Atsaka hindi ko nilalahat, pero yung ibang Shipping o Courier companies dito sa Pilipinas ay may pulpol na serbisyo! Yung iba walang pakialam sa mga gamit, basta basta nalang ibinabato sa mga bodega or kung saan saan, buti sana kung mura yung mga gamit. Hays ☹
Pag naman personal mong tiningnan yung mga gamit na binibili mo atleast mapapanatag ka na yun talaga yung gusto mo. (so ito na ba agad ang best option?) Dapat maging mapanuri pa rin, sa dami nang naglipanang Class A at Fake dito sa Pilipinas, di mo na masabi ang fake sa orig kasi mukhang original na rin talaga. Kahit yung mga nasa bangketa premium build na rin!
Unang-una wag kang mag Impulse Buy para maiwasan ang pagsisisi, researching should come first before buying, usually 1 week period bago ka bumili, mag research ka muna kung pano mo madidiferentiate ang peke sa orig, sa mga kilalang blogs or groups and pages sa facebook, walang masama sa pagkakalap ng impormasyon, natututo ka pa nang mga do’s and don’ts sa pagbili. Saka pag sa pagbibilhan ka nagtanong, malamang walang sasabihing negative yun about sa product nila, bagkus ippromote pa nila yun, yung iba gusto lang talaga makabenta at umabot sa kota!
DO YOU EVEN CANVASS BRO?
Eto ang masaya, kung talagang eager ka, personal kang pumunta at magtanong sa mga stores. Ang teknik ko dito ay umaasta lagi ako na parang bibilhin ko na yung produkto nila. (HAHA! Natawa lang ako ewan ko.) Sa ganitong way kasi sa kagustuhan nung ibang sales rep na makabenta, ay nagbibigay na sila nang mga discount, bundles at promo. Saka yung ibang stores iba ang pricing depende sa mode of payment (checks, credits, cash, etc.). Minsan kasi kung hindi ka aware sa mga LastPrice/Discounts/Promo nila ay hindi nila un sasabihin hanggang sa parang bibilhin mo na yung item. (gets?) So act para makuha mo ung last price, tapos pag nakuha mo na lipat ka sa ibang store and repeat process, in the end makakapagdecide ka na kung san ka makakamura talaga.
ONLINE SUPPORT
Yung ibang stores ay may magagandang online support rin naman. Para makatipid ka sa pamasahe, may chat, email, text at call naman na pwede mo ring gawin sa pagcacanvass, pero pag kasi online ay walang facial expression, so mahirap mag makaawa para sa discount!
AFTER SALES
Ito ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat, yung ibang stores kasi wala na silang pakialam basta makabenta na sila, yung iba mahirap nang kausapin tungkol sa warranty, replacement, etc. Nasa tao na kung saang store ka mag titiwala, better to read reviews at personal experiences ng ibang buyers about sa mga stores. Syempre hindi rin lahat ng mababasa mo online ay totoo, maaring ang nababasa mo ngayon dito ay hindi rin totoo ☺. Yung ibang mga negative comments (usually in TPC) ay mapanirang comments lang din, so i-analyze nang mabuti ang mga pinaniniwalaan. Ang TipidPC.com ay isang napakagandang website kung talagang gusto mong makahanap ng mura at kalidad na produkto, may reviews din ng mga positive at negative comments, bahala ka nang magbasa dun. (hindi ako may ari ng TipidPC or associated in anyway, nabanggit ko lang kasi halos lahat ng marunong bumili na nakakilala ko ay dun muna nagtitingen for solid information)
LAHAT NANG NAKASAAD DITO AY SUGGESTION KO LANG NAMAN. DI KO PA LAHAT NABANGGIT, WILL BE POSTING AN UPDATE SOON!
