BREAKING NEWS: USA Takes Down North Korea' S Internet by Nobody: 7:58am On Dec 27, 2014
If you’ve been following the Sony, North Korea
and the US government saga then you should
know what this is about. But let me give a brief
summary because I’m about to board a flight.
Sony Pictures released a movie called The
Interview, a comedy about a fictional
assassination of North Korean leader, Kim Jong
Un.. North Korean didn’t find it funny and
hacked into Sony’s computers, rendering
thousands of computers inoperable and forced
Sony to take its entire computer network offline.
That wasn’t enough, they then threatened terror
attack on US citizens if Sony doesn’t cancel
showing the movie, forcing Sony to pull the
interview from theaters and losing almost $
200m.
Then the US govt got involved and told Sony to
go ahead and release the movie, that they don’t
take lightly to threats and promised to retaliate
for the attack on Sony. It looks like they’ve kept
their to promise. North Korea is currently
offline. Lol
“Internet connectivity between
North Korea and the outside
world is currently suffering one
of its worst outages in recent
memory, suggesting that the
country may be enduring a mass
cyber attack a few days after
President Obama warned the US
would launch a “proportional
response” to North Korea’s h**k
against Sony.
North Korea, which has four
official networks connecting the
country to the Internet — all of
which route through China —
began experiencing intermittent
problems yesterday and today
went completely black,
according to Doug Madory
director of Internet analysis at
Dyn Research in Hanover, New
Hampshire.” Bloomberg reports.
I find this so hilarious! Moral of the story, don’t
mess with the US.
