There Are Signs That Someone Has Launched A Cyberattack Against North Korea
Probably some US hackers striking back. Or perhaps Sony grew a pair and outsourced a hack-attack!
FYI !
Hey, china, I can beat your best!!!!
All 22 users off line! Ruh-roh!
If North Korea managed to inflict this on the United States, we'd consider it an act of war.
I'd have to wonder if this won't escalate further...
Did someone (CIA, for example) steal their modem?
How can anyone tell?
All 600 of them ....
Obama wants the power to do the same thing to internet in the US.

Looks like some very influential people here are wanting a war against China.
My perspective is that ingenuity and ability to address serious flaws in IT related areas does not necessarily require sophisticated resources to be highly damaging.
The fact that the US could direct resources to cripple the delivery layer for the internet isn’t surprising, but the underlying ability to wreak havoc on our infrastructure shouldn’t be pooh-poohed because NK is technologically backward with respect to IT infrastructure.
From my perspective, one good directed sustained moderate-tech attack against our financial systems (e.g., stock market) would be disastrous.
If Obama can do this to the Norks, he can do it to us.
I don’t know whether to cheer or tremble in fear.
I’m curious to know if there was ANY outage or DOS in China and South Korea? I would expect none.
Looks like the cyber wars that have been talked about for decades are starting.
Don’t be too joyful, as we are MUCH MORE dependent on the Internet that North Korea, or just about any other country.
This will get interesting.
So, all five of their computers can’t get online?
That sawed off little bitch “leader” of theirs probably used Satellite Internet. I’m SURE we could disable his connection, if we wanted to. Would be awesome if we did!
That’s exactly what we should do! We should ‘ground’ the Norks from the internet, indefinitely! There’s probably just a handful of fiber lines going into their country terrestrially. It probably wouldn’t be difficult to kill or ‘jam’ their satellite access.
If 0-Tard did this, it would be one of the few good things he’s ever done as president....
On the surface it looks like he at least did something without insulting our friends...
Did the hamster die?
We own all you’re internets.
