The Western Press was gasping in horror when the Glorious People’s Republic of Best Korea announced that it had increased the numbers of soldiers in its cyber army.

Apparently, Kim Jong Un has recruited an army of 6,000 troops and is working to cause "physical and psychological paralysis" in the South and to publish America for daring to impose sanctions upon it.

The numbers do not come from Kim but the South Korean Defence Ministry which says it is double Seoul's estimate for the force in 2013.
To put this figure into some perspective. The Scottish Army had 6,000 troops when it defeated the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1298 and 6000 French soldiers under Count de Rochambeau helped the American terrorists overthrow their lawful king in 1776.

This is a huge number and you can see the damage that North Korea has already done with the Sony hack that it may or may not have been involved with.
However firstly the South Koreans have ample reason to encourage the fear of Kim in their US allies so they might be cooking the books previously it has been claimed that Best Korea has 1,800 “highly trained” hackers.

The internet footprint of North Korea has not changed and is still the same size as the Falkland Islands. One would also have expected that if Best Korea had increased its cyber army by four or five times we would expect to see more attacks.

The hey-day for North Korean attacks was 2013; South Korea blamed the North for crippling cyber-attacks that froze the computer systems of its banks and broadcasters for days.  The Sony hack was well done, but not as crippling.
