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".
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

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.
