North Korea’s already tenuous links to the Internet went completely dark on Monday after days of instability, in what Internet monitors described as one of the worst North Korean network failures in years.
The loss of service came just days after President Obama pledged that the United States would launch a “proportional response” to the recent attacks on Sony Pictures, which government officials have linked to North Korea. While an attack on North Korea’s networks was suspected, there was no definitive evidence of it.
Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, an Internet performance management company, said that North Korean Internet access first became unstable late Friday. The situation worsened over the weekend, and by Monday, North Korea’s Internet was completely offline....

This tit-for-tat could maybe get a little interesting...
Dear Reader won’t be able to watch Netfrix.
Blow up their nuclear missile plant and I’ll be impressed.
Obama’s guys did it..!
This “counter attack” just more prep-work for the False Flag infrastructure attack later.
Obama will turn out Bad America’s lights, and then all the suckers will blame a Korean country that builds empty hotel obelisks and doesn’t know what Bulkogi is cuz there’s no such thing as DPRK meat.
IT IS CONCEPTUAL PREP WORK.
I think more likely some US-based hacker or hacker group went after the norks. . .hard to conceive the Messiah could ever do anything at all to defend this nation, especially so quickly aftert the event.
Look, sorry, it was probably me. I’ve been after one of those spiffy NK officer’s hats and I think my Ebay feed clobbered their Netware 2.0 boxes. Anybody got a boot floppy?
So all 20 of North Korea’s internet users are out of luck.
Under a Thumb? Why blame U.S.? It is only the Evening of the Day ...
I have some old IBM cards with machine language code. Would that help?
Children Play ... LOL
Just who is NK’s internet provider? How do they tie into the network? Through China?
probably through China
Tunnels into South Korea.
We never hear about the US capabilities for cyber warfare, because I think it is classified, but I hope our capabilities are far greater than we think, and I hope there rest of the world takes notice. Don't F with us.
Cutting off internet access doesn’t make sense at all.
Reducing every Nork internet-connected PC to being able to only stream The Interview and Team America: World Police, now THAT makes sense.
I imagine the loss of the net to NK is not all that damaging compared to our loss of the net. Many Freepers would go nuts.
And another thing, make sure these scum bags are well aware of the ballistic missile submarines that are just a few miles off their coasts.
Our Cyber-Fu rep will be years recovering from the Obamacare website rollout.
Hopefully, the Nork’s nuclear reactors are not controlled via the internet and neither is their doomsday nuclear response system, if they have one.
