Wow he means business. Big changes can be made in a single generation so perhaps corruption in China will dwindle to that in Switzerland or Singapore. Or maybe Hong Kong. Meanwhile we are enjoying the lull before the storm. Kim the Fatter relishes his megalomania. Mqurice

US-South Korean war plans reportedly stolen by North Korean hackers Hackers in North Korea have allegedly stolen a cache of classified military documents from South Korea, according to a South Korean lawmaker. Lee Cheol-hee, a member of South Korea's ruling Democratic Party, told local media outlets that the documents were taken in a September 2016 hack of the country's Defense Ministry. The ministry would not comment for ABC News, citing national security concerns. ABC News could not reach Lee for comment. The sensitive documents reportedly contained U.S.-South Korean plans for a decapitation strike against North Korea — removing its leadership — a plan that has reportedly angered dictator Kim Jong Un. About 80 percent of the material stolen has not yet been identified. The stolen trove totals about 235 gigabytes of data, according to reports. "We have seen the media reporting on last year’s potential breach of the Republic of Korea-U.S alliance plans related to defending Korean peninsula," said Col. Rob Manning, a Pentagon spokesman. "Although I will not comment on intelligence matters or specific incidents related to cyber-intrusion, I can assure you that we are confident in the security of our operations plans and our ability to deal with any threat from North Korea," said Manning. "We’ll continue to work closely with our partners in the international community in identifying, tracking and countering any cyber threats.” He added that "The ROK-U.S. alliance remains steadfast and their commitment to make sure they safeguard that information and ensure readiness on the Korean peninsula to counter any North Korean threats.” This hack was originally reported last May, but this is the first time details of what was stolen have been provided. Sony hacking: FBI blames North Korea North Korea has been linked to other hackings. Among the most notable targeted Sony Pictures in 2014 as it was releasing "The Interview," a comedy about an assassination attempt on Kim. More recently, the WannaCry ransomware attack targeted hospitals across the United Kingdom. North Korea has denied involvement in any of the hacks and attacks.
