North Korean Cyber-hacking | NYT Editorial

In a recent editorial titled "The Power of North Korea's Cyberthreat", the New York Times' Editorial Board argues that it is not North Korea's nuclear power that should raise concern, but instead it's ability to hack and steal international digital information. This editorial argues that "even a megalomaniac like Mr. Kim understands that unleashing them [Nuclear missiles] would spell a hellish end to him and his country", and that cyber-hacking doesn't bore the same consequences.
North Korea has already caused a number of headaches for the United States by instigating "multi-million-dollar digital bank robberies", as well as "attacks on movie producers and television networks to force them to cancel projects deemed hostile" by the totalitarian state.
It is clear that this editorial adheres to any individual who sees North Korea as a present or imminent threat to the well-being of the United States. This editorial does a good job of structuring their argument from a logical perspective, and they even go as far as to cite the NYT article from which they are getting their information. I can't help but agree with their perspective, and also believe that something should be done about North Korea's expanding scope of hacking abilities. However, credibility is called into question because there is no clear author for this editorial.
