San Diego channel 10 reporting massive internet outage in North Korea
I’d let them know too, that if they launch ANYTHING at all, we’ll blow it out of the sky...that is if they can even clear the pad.
DNS in the US isn't resolving names in the .kp domain. If I try to do a traceroute to IP addresses in NK (for example: The Korea Computer Center is 175.45.176.14) I can't even get out of the US.
I would be real curious to see if any European (or Asian) Freepers are able to get to sites there. I suspect that Obama is just putting on a show for us and not really doing anything to NK.
Love it...
Thanks again.
The power of the political cartoon...
Someone erased their blackboard?
Sony can make movies about anything they want.
This is still going to make lots of money for all involved, that’s the free enterprise system.
It is a funny movie, from the trailers I have seen.
I’d be sort of surprised if anyone in the U.S. thought it worth the trouble. Now, Sony, on the other hand...let me see, a megacorporation with a billion-dollar IT budget that just got slapped in the face in front of the world? If you have to make an enemy in cyberspace I wouldn’t recommend that one.
You wouldn’t happen to have a link to that anti nazi propaganda loony tunes flick handy? I can’t remember the name of it.
The last one looks more like a caricature of Tojo to me, but back during WWII there probably wasn't much distinction between Hirohito and Tojo in the American public mind.
It might have been. No names were used in the film.
“I think this is being done to make Americans think we’re doing something to NK.”
I do, too. AFAIK NK doesn’t HAVE an internet worth mentioning.
Sony? haha....Sony’s IT is weak. They make some cool products to be sure, but they always think about security AFTER the fact (usually after being compromised). They have been owned more than a few times over the past couple years alone.

WASHINGTON (AP) — North Korea experienced sweeping and progressively worse Internet outages extending into Monday, with one computer expert saying the country’s online access is “totally down.” The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible.
President Barack Obama said Friday the U.S. government expected to respond to the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., which he described as an expensive act of “cyber vandalism” that he blamed on North Korea. Obama did not say how the U.S. might respond, and it was not immediately clear if the Internet connectivity problems represented the retribution. The U.S. government regards its offensive cyber operations as highly classified.
“We aren’t going to discuss, you know, publicly operational details about the possible response options or comment on those kind of reports in anyway except to say that as we implement our responses, some will be seen, some may not be seen,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
North Korea has forcefully denied it was responsible for hacking into Sony. But the country has for months condemned the “The Interview,” a Sony satirical comedy about a plot to assassinate the North Korean leader. Sony canceled plans to release the movie after a group of hackers made terroristic threats against theaters that planned to show it.
North Korean diplomat Kim Song, asked Monday about the Internet attack, told The Associated Press: “I have no information.”
Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, an Internet performance company, said Monday the problems began over the weekend and grew progressively worse to the point that “North Korea’s totally down.”
Residents of the country have only limited Internet access, especially compared to the U.S. But with the current outages, Madory said, “They have left the global Internet and they are gone until they come back.”
Another Internet technology service, Arbor Networks, which protects companies against hacker attacks, said its monitoring detected denial-of-service attacks aimed at North Korea’s infrastructure starting Saturday and persisting Monday. Such attacks transmit so much spurious data traffic to Internet equipment that it becomes overwhelmed, until the attacks stop or the spurious traffic can be filtered and discarded to allow normal connections to resume.
