Paradigm Shift
Years ago a large American shoe-making company sent out two salesmen to the African continent.
On the third day, there was a cable from one of the salesmen:
“Returning on next plane. Can’t sell any shoes here. Everybody goes barefoot.”
Two weeks later, the company was overjoyed at the letter it received from the other man on the African assignment:
“Fifty orders are enclosed. Prospects are unlimited here, because nobody has shoes.”

With its hacking program, NIS collected nearly 3,000 pieces of evidence per day
On Monday, the National Assembly is scheduled to launch an investigation into intelligence agency‘s snooping
Each day, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) collected an average of 2,966 pieces of data through monitoring targets with Remote Control System (RCS), a program it purchased from Italian security company Hacking Team. Since the program enabled the spy agency to monitor 20 people at a time, it apparently collected an average of 148 pieces of evidence per person, per day. Furthermore, additional information has come to light showing that Hacking Team was monitoring the agency’s activities.
Labor advocates alarmed by court’s ruling on “abetting” obstruction of operation
A court ruling finding a man guilty of criminally abetting obstruction of operations for supporting a workplace occupation by workers is generating controversy. Observers in the organized labor community fretted that the decision could signal a revival of a ban on “third party involvement” that was introduced under President Chun Doo-hwan and later abolished in 2006 after being abused to suppress labor and democracy movements. .
NIS an “active user” of remote control hacking systems
The South Korea National Intelligence Service (NIS) was “one of the most active users” of remote control systems for hacking, a recent analysis claims. An analysis of leaked data from the Italian company Hacking Team released on July 21 by Redsocks (redsocksmtd.blogspot.kr), .
Hacking Team says N. Korea among countries they refuse to work with
The CEO of Hacking Team, the Italian company that sold hacking software to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS), said that the company had refused to do business with North Korea.“There are a number of countries we have rejected as clients. Some are obvious such as North Korea, Syria or Iran,” said David Vincenzetti, founder of Hacking Team and its current CEO, .
No agreement yet between Mitsubishi and Chinese forced laborers
A group of Chinese victims of forced labor during World War II claimed on July 25 that they had not reached an agreement with Japanese company Mitsubishi Materials about the question of an apology and compensation. Mitsubishi Materials also denied that an agreement had been reached, saying that no decisions have been made. For the time being, no easy solution is likely to be found about the question of compensation and an apology for the Chinese forced to work for the company. .
Unification Minister says Mt. Keumgang tourism a “separate issue” from sanctions
The South Korean Unification Minister talked about plans to treat the possible resumption of tourism at Mt. Keumgang in North Korea as a “separate issue” from current sanctions against the North. While appearing on July 26 on the KBS program “Sunday Diagnosis,” Minister Hong Yong-pyo was asked whether the resumption of tourism would be discussed as a separate issue from the so-called May 24 Measures that have restricted interactions with North Korea since the 2010 sinking of the ROKS Cheonan.
