Internet troubles, Big time!
It seems the entire North Korean Internet system has crashed.
Gee, I wonder what could have happened?

Probably too many North Koreans were trying to download the movie and crashed the net....

Jessie, what is the source of this info? I hope it is true and it destroyed their systems for nuke energy, weapons development, and their "bottle rockets". Nick

Ok, explain to me again this "hacker threat" from the Junior Varsity Terrorist Team with 'nuclear weapons' ? Did the chubby boy get a new IBM AT for New Year's?

Someone probably used MSIE and infected their whole system with one of the many exploits.

When the White House was asked for a comment was basically "That is North Korea's problem, I refer you to them for comment." That story made my entire day.

Obama said that we would respond proportionally to this act of cyber-vandalism and then N.K. Had no internet. Why did we not take responsibility for it? We said they should take culpability for their actions, and we are doing exactly what they did. I am all for shutting them down, I just wish we had the balls to say, ya we did that.....

IIRC, it was our military's means of communicating before it was released to the public.

The internet crashed in N.K.? Are you trying to tell me that all nine computers connected to the internet in that country all failed at one time?! Goodness me! If that's the extent of a U.S. response, it's pretty shameful!

I think that you nailed the problem. Everyone with access was online at the same time and overloaded the system.

Rumor has it "Al" caused the problem, and now is demanding a high "fee" from NK to fix the problem!
A fella has gotta have a "fallback position". If Global Warming does not generate enough income, try something else.

Probably some Jr High kids took hacking NK as a challenge. Last year when the news black-out of the riots in the Ukraine was going on my son called me into his room to look at something on his computer. He'd hacked into a Ukrainian police surveillance system and was watching the riots real time.
He's not in Jr High and is taking net security in collage, but I could see some of his friends thinking getting together and crashing NK would be funny.
