It won't happen. Data today holds the same value as nukes during the cold war

That is so true. Remember that last DPRK scare? "North Korea builds server farm" they screamed. Seems that any time the DPRK needs some attention, they just announce a test of their number-crunching machines.

Lacking much imagination. DPRK don't need a server farm just a pen drive from St. Petersburg.

And yet the news never says "DPRK buy pen drive" but only "DPRK closer to nuclear weapons with global reach".
