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."

“...Ms Pacman...”

Oh yeah??? Well, you’re ON, bubby... I’ll play with one hand tied behind my back, just to make it fair...

But - YOU supply the quarters!!!!!!!!

(Think of how many quarters we wasted on those games back in the day!!!! Some fat rich “Arcade Pimp” in a cheap polyester leisure suit is sitting in Bermuda right now on a lounge chair made in China, drinking Rum and Cokes and completely retired on ALL MY DAMN QUARTERS!!!!

Haha!!!

Did someone (CIA, for example) steal their modem?

Nah, somebody is probably just talking on the phone. :)

Sure it’s real. The US infrastructure is magnitudes greater than the NK internet. They can take down pieces but not the whole.

“whatever nefarious goals you believe....”

To save face. It’s his typical reaction on things. Just like he
almost jumped on the wrong side in Syria and intentionally took the wrong side on
Skip Gates and Trayvon and Brown .
Another would be along with opening the door for Cuba he
would love to escalate the war with Korea. I guess you don’t get it. The Obama will do anything to hurt this country. And to add to it, what if the Norks didn’t do it?

There, that’s about three reasons, you mean to tell me you
couldn’t think of at least one of those?

"An archduke is shot, and all hell breaks loose."

Or a major power is denied it's historical sphere of influence, or access to raw materials required to sustain their economy.

Both of those have caused major war with millions dead.

You bet. Very good additions. I’ll bet we could think of a few other ways to trip and stumble into war. It really pays to understand what the other side’s “dead line” really is. Miscalculation or simple lack of understanding the opposite POV often leads to war. You don’t have to agree with their POV, but you must understand it.

“looks like it has started impacting part of the power grid in Pyongyang. “

That would be hard to detect.
