South Korea reverses, now says "cyberattack" didn't come from China

http://j.mp/Y9fh1L  (CNN)

    The suspected cyberattack that struck South Korean banks and media
    companies this week didn't originate from a Chinese IP address, South
    Korean officials said Friday, contradicting their previous claim.  The
    Korea Communications Commission, a South Korean regulator, said that
    after "detailed analysis," the IP address that was thought to be from
    China was determined to be an internal IP address from one of the
    banks that was infected by the malicious code.

Here's another reason so much of this "cyberwar retaliation" nonsense is
just that ... dangerous nonsense.
