North Korea goes completely offline: Report
CNBC ^ | 12-22-14 | Everett Rosenfeld

Posted on 12/22/2014 1:57:53 PM PST by Colehill1999

North Korea is having major Internet problems, just days after President Barack Obama promised a proportional response to the devastating hacks against Sony.

The country, which the FBI accused last week of the cyberattack, is suffering a total Internet outage that experts at DYN Research said is out of the ordinary, as first reported by North Korea Tech. According to the research firm, North Korea's Internet connectivity grew steadily worse beginning Sunday night, and then went completely offline Monday morning.

"I haven't seen such a steady beat of routing instability and outages in KP before," Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at DYN Research, told North Korea Tech. "Usually there are isolated blips, not continuous connectivity problems. I wouldn't be surprised if they are absorbing some sort of attack presently."

Gone completely off the rails have you? It’s one thing not to like Obama. It’s another thing to just make things up because you don’t like him.

I got one for Christmas about 1982 or ‘83 and I played “Missile Command” and “Donkey Kong” until I think it made me sick.

North Korea doesn’t have the capacity to carry out such a basic kind of attack on the scale required to take the US out. I’m not sure anyone does as the US is the internet backbone of the world, taking us out would likely take out much of the world.

An attack on the US is more likely to be against power grids and personal information like what already is happening with Sony and other companies on a on going scale mostly by china and Russia.

not really, all it would take is some hacker group turning a botnet to them and running a ping of death attack or some other kind of DDOS. The Norks internet connection is not that big and some of the botnets have blasted large datacenters off of the net before.
