U.S. Sinister Motive for Spreading Rumour of “Cyber Threat”


 2022.9.14.

Now the U.S. is making desperate attempt to attract the attention of the international society by spreading the rumour about “cyber threat” from the DPRK.


To give a typical example, high ranking officials of the U.S. Administration - Deputy National Security Adviser for Cyber and Emerging Technology on the National Security Council and Director of the FBI and the like - groundlessly found fault with us last August alone.


And the U.S. hatched a plot of so-called working group meeting with south Korean puppets and attempted to turn the spotlight on the “cyber threat” from us. The U.S. State Department recently made a fuss about giving support to cyber security education of its allies.


It isn’t a day or two since the U.S. stratagem of spreading the rumour about “cyber threat” from us was put into execution.


The U.S. has been referring to “cyber threat” from us since the beginning of 2010. And for the past 10 years, it has schemed to charge us with “cybercrime” by frequently playing all sorts of farce: “issuing alert”, “releasing investigative reports” and “presenting forensic evidence”.


Then, what is the ulterior motive of the U.S. clinging so desperately to publicizing “cyber threat” from us?


Cyberspace is scientific and technological achievement of the mankind. It is now becoming an absolutely essential sector in everyone’s life and also in expanding and developing exchanges and cooperation among countries.


The U.S. who leaves no stone unturned to tarnish the external image of the DPRK and justify its anti-DPRK pressure is misusing even the cyberspace to achieve its sordid objectives.


The U.S., not content with making fuss about our fund “theft” in the cyberspace, is now going so far as to spread the cock and bull story that we attempted to “steal” Covid-19 vaccine development data – a clear manifestation of the above.


Another manifestation of the anti-DPRK hostile policy aimed at “demonizing” our state is the misuse of even the cyberspace, the common asset of mankind, as a tool for realizing its heinous anti-DPRK pressure.


However, the mean stratagem of the U.S. can no longer work now.


It is none other than the U.S. who first invented the concept of cyber warfare and turned the cyberspace into another war zone by deploying a large force capable of cyber warfare.


Thus, the U.S. is branded as the world’s worst cyber-criminal state, hacking empire and tapping empire.


It is no accident that the U.S. National Security Agency’s theft of core technology through as many as 1 000-odd cyber-attacks on Xibei University of Technology, China, was revealed to the consternation of the world.


In this regard, the world people denounce the U.S. as the “dark claw” stealing secrets with its mega-scale and unlimited cyber-activities, and maintain that the U.S. pursuit of supremacy on the internet should resolutely be deterred.


The reality serves as an eloquent proof that the U.S. is the very mastermind of all the “cyber threats” on this planet.


The U.S. with all its criminal records is now making a fuss about the “cyber threat” from somebody, posing as “international cyber-police”.


This cannot but be the height of impudence.


We will never remain an idle spectator when the U.S. spreads rumours about the “cyber threat”, deceiving the international society at large.


We will keep a record of every crime of U.S. perpetration to settle a score with it.
