yes but how come it keeps happening? and why north korea this time? it just doesnt make sense.
It keeps happening because there is no such thing as a secure system when it comes to hacking. These kind of hackers can hack into any system anywhere, the real challenge lies in not getting caught.
Every OS and every server software keep getting security holes plugged every week / month, especially because of the deeply insecure foundation of our computer systems. Every one of these bugs were privately known by some hackers far before they are fixed. The day we spend a tear without a security bugfix, it will be because either all the security holes are fixed, or because they give up.
Edit: also, firewalls and secure software doesn't protect against spear phishing
