In what Universe?


I've been seeing these articles about the Korean MBR wiper malware everywhere. Typical of these articles in this one on Wired, which states:

 Contained within that file was a hex string (4DAD4678) indicating the date and time the attack was to begin—March 20, 2013 at 2pm local time (2013-3-20 14:00:00).

My problem: 0x4DAD4678 equals 1303201400 decimal.  That value gives me a date of :

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 04:23:20

Which is the date Skynet went online.

Nice touch.  I like that.  No coincidence there.

For "March 20, 2013 2pm KST" (assuming Korean Standard Time is "local time" in Korea), I get a decimal value of 1363755600 or 0x51494250 hex.

All these articles make the same claim.

Am I doing it wrong?
