Lockheed martin confirms attack on it network by NSA
WASHINGTON — The White House said Wednesday that it learned of an attack on North Korea’s network by the United States’ National Security Agency and confirmed what its officials have been saying for days: That the country is likely to retaliate against a missile attack it says is retaliation for recent 룰렛threats.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Obama did not know what the attack was. Carney said it was “just a matter of some kind of cyber-weaponization against one of our own,” but was not able to say whether the attack was related to the U.S. airstrikes in Syria.
Administration officials said that in recent days the White House had been warning in public that the U.S. was prepared to act if the North Koreans attacked.
