I don't think it is : why provoke a country that has nothing to loose in a cyber war when mostly everything in the US is dependent on the Internet ?
Look at what happened to Sony (even if NK may had nothing to do with it) and imagine what would happen if NK decided to shut down several US companies 'Sony style'.
The financial damage would be tremendous for the economy.
IMO cyber war is a bit like nuclear war : the goal is not to use it, or life can become really complicated really fast.
