The disruption came amid an escalating war of words between the United States and North Korea over a massive cyberattack on Sony Pictures.

If this was truly a hacker hit on NK, it will happen again in short order ... otherwise, they just had a server glitch (and many dead NK IT folks to follow).

The question is whether they managed to destroy programs and files on NK computers.

Any hacker worth his/her salt hits first to challenge, next hit will be the one that destroys data. Unless sponsored by a Government, then all bets are off.

IIRC, Freepers were kicked out of AOL by liberal webmaster for criticizing Slick Willie and Hildebeast.

Clintons are the reason Freerepublic was born.
