Cyber attacks "Denial of Service" hit several sensitive U.S. sites

Several sites were cyber attacked in the U.S. and South Korea by cyber criminals, among them the U.S. Treasury Department and Secret Service. The attacks paralyzed the sites for an inordinately long time and some say that the sites are still being affected. North Korea is one of the countries suspected of initiating the attacks.

I mention these two sites specifically because in my previous post about counterfeiting the concept of supernotes comes up. Many attribute the appearance of the supernote as a problem whose genesis is also North Korea, although this has never been validated. Two sites to hit if a rogue nation were interested in counterfeiting our currency would of course be the U.S. Treasury Department and the Secret Service websites. Coincidence? Perhaps.
