The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

This is just the latest in a deluge of 21st century cyber attacks committed by North Korea. With the support of the North Korean government, cybercrime has become a lucrative and tactically effective means of undermining other nations. The West must take this seriously in order to uphold the principles of democracy and freedom.

Spectator (UK)

Establishment-critical narrative

It is not only the West that suffers in the face of cyberattacks. China, along with much of Asia, faces transnational crime challenges relating to fraud, undermining regional stability and security. However, Western powers — especially the US — have successfully peddled the illusion that China and Russia are hacking empires, while the West only acts defensively.
