If you're technically not at war then you can't at the same time be technically still at war. Neither side declared war against the other or is currently acting like they are at war, thus they aren't at war.
I would add to the “at war” column: the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) grants membership to any US service members who have been stationed in South Korea.
Looks like every man and his dog is an expert on North Koreans. Did it occur to you that most citizen there are hostages of the own state and may be fighting hard to get a piece of bread on the table? I highly doubt they give a shit to the US, or the internet or the hacker wars of any kind.

somehow, I don't think that those are the people that are being targeted. it's the "elite" who actually have internet access, and can also eat.
those who make the decisions, and those who are friends of those who make the decisions would be the ones affected by the internet being down, not those who can barely eat and obviously don't have internet access.
