Those of us who have an attention span longer than Facebook recall America's beloved NSA wrote the exploit for the WannaCry attack and it was inevitable they would try to blame it on someone else.
Welcome to this circus. (Phys.org: Experts see possible North Korea links to global cyberattack)
Oh, God, this kind of material gets me so propagandistically erect.

Ed: this is starting to turn me on too!
Of course it does, mate. This is the NSA at its steamy best.
Cybersecurity experts are pointing to circumstantial evidence that North Korea may be behind the global "ransomware" attack: the way the hackers took hostage computers and servers across the world was similar to previous cyberattacks attributed to North Korea.
Simon Choi, a director at South Korean anti-virus software company Hauri Inc. who has analyzed North Korean malware since 2008 and advises the government, said Tuesday that the North is no newcomer to the world of bitcoins.
