Re: Act of War? We could simply severely curtail their Internet access. Be easy, cut all the direct links and force all North Korea stuff to have to go thru China first, then we could have their traffic dropped by the backbone routers, etc.
I think we're trying to avoid going that route, however. I think US policy is to encourage Internet access everywhere (despite the risks) because it works against dictatorships and oppressive regimes. (See Iran's recent example.)

Be easy, cut all the direct links and force all North Korea stuff to have to go thru China first, then we could have their traffic dropped by the backbone routers, etc. For anything else I would agree. But this wasn't/isn't a case of North Korean owned computers causing the problem. They (allegedly) are controlling the botnet, but the botnet itself is likely global. Its made up of thousands of home and business computers owned by people either too ignorant or too arrogant to care about securing their computers. Cutting every hardline in or out of NK wouldn't help. What we need to do is cut internet access for anyone infected.
