Who pulled the plug on North Korea's Internet?

On the TV last night it was suggested that the government-line intranet within NK that feeds propaganda to the people was not affected.

Only international internet, which normally no-one is allowed to see (apart from tourists staying in international hotels etc.), went down.

Now i understand. somebody accidentlally pulled the plug out and the Internet died.... Makes sense. Poor guy must be in deep trouble.

Two wrong don't make a right.

Food for thought: Inside job? Third party false flag? Tit for tat makes who a terrorist?

Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) can hardly be relied upon for impartiality. Researchers can timeline cyber attacks dating back to the 1980s. There is a clear history of cyberespionage and cyberwarfare conducted by both the US and China against each other and third parties that has increased exponentially over the past 5 year....expect punch and Judy mixed with pure pantomime.

“It’s unlikely, if only because we can’t make decisions that fast,”

Well I guess they were all partying after all it is Christmas.....ho ho ho

In other news, North Korea has the Internet.

Surprised they didn't have a backup generator powered by 100's of soldiers on bicycles with dynamos to run their internet servers.

Wish it was the US, but sadly NK is China's pet which they let doody on everyone else's lawn.

That's assuming N.K hacked Sony in the first place.......im hoping all the nuclear power plants have better systems in place than Sony did.

Don't they have Wi-Fi? lol

So we know for sure who hacked Sony, one of millions of companies on the net, but we don't know who hacked an entire country? Does some thing sound strange about that?

Is fat boy trying to locate the "any" key?

Well, considering that the Sony conglomerate has a vastly larger income itself than that shriveled appendage known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, stranger things have happened.

Disgruntled sony employee sounds right as 90% of all computer crimes are done with insider info.

From what I read the hackers had access to an Id with admin rights and its password.

Now once you got hold if such an ID you can do whatever you like, no hacking needed.

Last night, CBS reported that therehasn't been SONY stories in N Korea. How is in Japan? In USA, we had SONY stories day and night untuk NY Cops assassination stories came out. Then she said 3/4 of N K houses do not have electricity. There are about 1,000 online users that is for propaganda toward foreign Countries, BBC reported. How many in Japan? How many in USA?

I wish someone would "pull the plug" on the Kim family.

Jeff:

" wish someone would "pull the plug" on the Kim family. "

Someone sort of did, here. Since internet in NK is basically a private service for the Kim clan and their sycophants, this was quite personal. The general population in NK has never seen the internet; instead they get 24 hour propaganda piped into their houses via a sort of musen system that they can turn down, but not turn off.

WillieB, sounds like the Orwell novel "1984".
