1. Government website gets hacked

2. Government blames North Korea

3. ???

4. Profit! Err, I mean, government support goes up.

Well, maybe North Korea did it, maybe it didn't, but the current state of South Korean politics created a perverse incentive structure. The more severely the government is hacked (or otherwise attacked by North Korea), the more it is politically rewarded.

So, expect nothing to change any time soon.
