2 Channel is known as a relatively pro-America conservative forum, a sort of Free Republic in Japan, but lesser a blog style and more a bulletin board style (and with more trolls of conservative bashing because of lesser control). 2 Channel shares the same data center operating several US government servers. According to other source, more than 50,000 South Korean citizens (not professional hackers, just citizens pressing F5 for hours) have engaged in a Function Key 5 (F5) rapid page reloading attack in a form of DDoS, resulting in the crash of the attacked 2 Channel, and crashing unknown numbers of US government site sharing the same server in the data center of Pacific Internet Exchange. South Koreans have been often criticized by Japanese for local fascist South Korean ethnics promoting the anti-US pro-China Japan Democratic Party which has been promoting more rights for migrants, South Korean ethnics in specific. Japan's Democratic Party is sort of Japanese version of the America's Democratic Party. The ethnics have also provided support during the election, resulting in the fall of pro-US Liberal Democratic Party. In the US, South Korean lobby groups have been criticized by Japanese pro-US groups which South Korean groups have been attempting to damage US-Japan relationship to benifit as a more infuencial nation in the Far East region, and to gain on territorial disputes between Japan.
South Korean migrants in Japan may be comparable to the Mexicans in the US, often claiming their territory of the southern border of US, inviting families of illegal migrants, against the concept of melting pot, and promoting anti-Americanism. Whatever the target was, South Koreans as an entire are true fascists as a result of their brainwashing education system and has caused damage on US government site as a result of cyber terrorism, and in other words, engaged terrorism against America. I believe such barabaric ethnic is not a favorable partner for US, and its democracy is nothing but fake. An attack on pro-US entity is an attack on allies of the US as well.

We would like to update you regarding to the DDos attack which occurred on 2/28/10 6:35pm PST.
The incident was caused by mass amount of bot computers putting a stress on PIE.us’s network equipments.
Currently we have set an ACL (Access Control List) to IP’s from Korea and other countries but still do see a minor attack related to the incident.
This might possibly be caused by automated scripts and we are preparing to turn documentations and logs into local authorities as a cyber terrorism against U.S. corporation.
PIE bandwidth is now stable and we have lowered our level from Red to Orange.
Thank you,
PIE.us

So they were angry at a few anti-Kim Yu Na comments. Big deal!
Beating Japan at anything and everything, is something that most, if not all Koreans relish.
Has nothing to do with re-aligning extra-national alliances and/or triangulating between China and the US.
It was just a sporting spat amongst rivals...good grief!
“South Koreans as an entire are true fascists as a result of their brainwashing education system”
Okay...
“has caused damage on US government site as a result of cyber terrorism, and in other words, engaged terrorism against America”
So “South Koreans are fascist terrorists”, you say.
I’ll hold off judgement on that.
The F5 key ain’t no 9/11.
Try & work out your differences. I’m sure there are some good south koreans, right.
I watched this competiton. The sports commentators (Scott Hamilton, etc) were ecstatic about the Korean girl’s performance, saying it was probably one of the best olympic performances ever. They also gushed about her “humility” and talked about how she was a huge star in Korea.
It seems she is absolutely adored by the Korean public, and I will say, she seemed humble, quiet, and determined - quite sweet.
After this incredible performance everyone went bonkers over, this poor Japanese girl had to skate, and I really felt for her - the pressure in these Asian societies is enormous. If you lose, it’s personal because you failed the people.
I’m not surprised it’s still red hot over there on this.
And I have it from good sources that the FBI is also now looking into this current cyberattack on Japan from ROK (some elements there, not representative in my opinion of everyone)....
