"Attack" is pretty sensationalist.
North Korea get's their internet from China, and before this there was speculation that the US was enlisting the help of other countries to ensure NK couldn't carry out another such attack and that one of their approaches involved simply asking China to turn off their internet access.
Isn't it more likely they asked China to do this, and they simply complied as they also recognise that there is a major problem here?

Not a chance! China quietly applauds NK's actions. The UN Security Council just overrode China's objections to add NK to their agenda on human rights.

Fair enough, just applying Occam's Razor.
The alternative is that somebody with the means to do so performed a cyber attack on North Korea. Which is way more interesting!

N. Korea's internet has been restored. Nothing short of a physical cable cut is going to do the job. However, you first have to fully believe that N. Korea is responsible for the Sony hack to begin with. All we have for evidence is a corrupt US spy agency's wild-eyed claims.

Can you remove the ambiguity? What does this tell us, to drink or to avoid it.

Drink, and plenty - apparently "peak creativity" is 0.075 blood alcohol (illegal to drive around these parts, so I guess you just have to stay in one spot and remain creative).

So I guess that means that creative driving is frowned upon.

So to get a full picture you have to read a lot of very technical reports from the network security community. My understanding of the attack comes from reading (probably way too many) technical reports about it. I'll try and give the most readable sources here. Not technically a news story, but a better explanation than I've seen in any news story so far.

I don't know. Nowwadays, a language seems pretty meaningless without a decent library. I'm so used to the rich features of .NET that having to roll my own what I consider "low-level" classes to do basic things, well, it's a waste of time IMO.

True for high-level enterprise languages, like C#, Java, Ruby...
Rust, however is a low-level system language like C. You use Rust to create libraries, not consume them.
