(CNN) -- North Korea's Internet was back up Tuesday after a more than nine-hour outage, according to Dyn Research, a company that monitors Internet performance.

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

"Usually there are isolated blips, not continuous connectivity problems. I wouldn't be surprised if they are absorbing some sort of attack presently," Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, said when the Internet was down.

Thank the Lord that this did not happen here in the US, why the death toll from suicide among the ‘Millennials’ from their lost of access to Facebook, twitter, titchy and soon would have be devastating!

That’s it, that’s all Obama has to give

My money is on a private group or competing groups. This was too fast a response for it to be anything run by the government.

Daytime arrived and they turned the electricity back on. Happens most days (weekdays at least).

North Korea has a very secure backup system that will be difficult to hack.

The entire North Korean Internet is backed up on a half dozen 5.25 inch floppy disks that Kim Jong Un keeps in a cigar box in his underwear drawer.

Kind of funny seeing that old Free Republic home page. That’s how it looked when I first discovered it in 1997 while doing a search on “Abraham Lincoln” while helping my son with a school project.

It seemed like forever for Gout Boy to be deprived of his internet porn. (The Internet is back up, but now it's 24/7 streaming of The Interview.)

if it was an attack, the carrier probably null routed the source IP's. If it was a real attack, it'll regroup from different sources and hit again in short order.

I'm guessing fat boy just had to reboot the router though

I believe it’s pronounced ‘plobrem’. Apart from that it all sounds good.

An Internet outage in North Korea probably means that Kim Jung-un could not access his favorite porn sites

No, he spends to much of his time apologizing to the likes of “crappy haircut”, to even think of doing anything against him.

Nah, he's upgraded to 3.5"
