This article discusses the recent attempt of a launch of a medium-range ballistic rocket by North Korea.  Many experts believe the launch failed after several seconds due to possible hacking by the United States.  The United States has been known for launching cyber-attacks on foreign countries in the past.  An example of this was Stuxnet.
