US reportedly asks China to help curb North Korea's cyberattack abilities

The Obama administration has asked China for help with curbing North Korea's ability to launch cyberattacks like the one federal officials say crippled Sony Pictures, according to a published report.

The New York Times reports that the White House requested help from Beijing in recent days, but the Chinese have not responded. However, a senior Obama administration official claimed to the Associated Press that the U.S. and China have shared information about the Sony attack. The official also says China agrees with the U.S. that destructive cyberattacks violate the norms of appropriate behavior in cyberspace.
:o ::) What a powerful response. I'll bet NK is shaking in their boots.
Further, I'll bet this is the full extent of US retaliation.

The Chinese are just taking their time deciding how many of our state secrets they want in exchange for telling us, "North Korea hacked SONY's ass".

Un-****ing-believable.  :banghead:

If the story is true (hey, it wouldn't be the first time that the NY Slimes got something wrong), this defies description.

"Daddy! North Korea beat up on me and hurt me! Make him stop!"

This won't be all that Obama does. He'll talk tough to the media and refuse to negotiate with the incoming republican majority in the senate.
