While much of the
focus on North Korea has been on efforts by the U.S. to negotiate a
denuclearization deal…
- The cyber threat posed
by Pyongyang remains a real threat, just out of view of
the headlines.
- Through network intrusions, North Korean
state-sponsored hackers aim to glean crucial military and
diplomatic intelligence from foreign networks, fill the coffers of
the ruling Kim regime and help finance the Korea People's Army's
(KPA) build up.

ICYMI: Under/Cover: Review: ‘The
Best of Enemies’
|
|
|
Long before 'The Best of Enemies' was
published (on sale today), movie producer Ron Howard and Imagine
Entertainment optioned the book with an eye toward making a motion
picture from the tale…
- 'The Best of Enemies'
has all the elements that Hollywood loves…
- To start, it has two
quirky and colorful lead characters, CIA Officer Jack 'Cowboy'
Platt and KGB Officer Gennady Vasilenko…
- And as the book's title
suggests, the men, on opposite sides of the Cold War, develop a
deep, abiding and unlikely friendship that survived a brutal cold
war and, at times, even more cruel peace at a time when a supposed
warming of relations between their countries hid an icy resolve to
expose traitors in their midst.
