Report: US Wants China to Stop North Korean Hacks with "Blocking Action"


Well, this is a weird twist. Just hours after we learned that North Korea wanted to work with the United States on a joint investigation into the Sony Pictures hack, The New York Times is reporting that the U.S. now wants China's help in stopping North Korean hackers. Apparently, U.S. officials want to unleash the Great Firewall on North Korea.


At least, that's what it sounds like. "What we are looking for is a blocking action, something that would cripple their efforts to carry out attacks," an unnamed official told the Times. China reportedly hasn't responded to the request. [NYT]
