    In regard to the article below, would this explain the rather large number
    of portscans I have been getting from 63.105.205.x over the last few weeks?
    Traceroute reports these as originating in Korea.  Out of curiosity, have
    these scans been widespread enough for anyone else on the list to take note,
    or am I just in a "lucky" ip range that they happen to be working through
    right now?

    P.S.  You think maybe they will offer their hacking courses online? ;-)

    South Korea fortifying computer security. North Korea is training around 100
    computer hackers each year to boost its cyber-warfare capabilities, pushing
    the South to fortify its own computer security, a South Korean military
    official said Friday. South Korea is one of the world's most wired
    countries, making it vulnerable to cyber attacks, Song Young-keun,
    commanding general of Seoul's Defense Security Command, was quoted as
    saying. 70 percent of households in South Korea have Internet access. Song
    said the military would also need the combined efforts of research
    institutions and private sector businesses to strengthen cyber security, the
    report added. Source:
