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."

More like very dark cyber security group for which there is no known acronym ... NSA is about breaking codes, not attacking.

But a whole nation disconnected is something else.That depends on the nation. They probably route all their traffic through a few central routing sites for monitoring and censoring/access control. Attack those routers and you take down the whole country.

It may have very well been Japan....Sony is based in Japan, despite SONY having a presence in America. The various trade groups and “conglomerate groups/(read yakusas)” might not take too kindly to what NK did and may wish to send their own message! (I would quake should Japan ever get pissed at the US in terms of cyberwarfare!) The US may have “helped” of course!
