Norks' internet goes TITSUP in possible DDoS attack

I'm

so ronery........

You know the rest

Hahahaha

Good one!

Internet outage.

Will Kim have to wait between 8am and 5pm for the Comcast guy to show up?

They're trying to all simultaneously comment on the reg redesign.

Users little affected

Few ordinary North Koreans will be affected by these problems, as so few have Internet access.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer dictatorship.

Or should that be "wouldn't"?

> If the North Koreans really do have an elite hacking squad, it'll be twiddling its thumbs at the moment,

Doubt it, it's generally accepted that if they do exist, they're based in China and not NK

Here at the bottom end of the Pacific...

... my internet connection has been flaking out even more than usual over the past 3-4 days.

I'm pretty sure nothing in my home is being used to DDOS NK. So - coincidence, or collateral damage? It's entirely possible we share a router with the Norks somewhere upstream.

I'm suspecting collateral damage, just because it gives me someone to blame. Thanks a bunch, Obama. But of course I quite understand you have to avenge your paymasters at Sony.

made me giggle

'Possible DDoS'

Perhaps it's just Kim Jong Un's Shopping List

Going to China over a low bandwidth connection?

So ...

... all three of their computers are down?

Maybe it's China doing it?

Since the NK's get their 'Net connection through China, per the article, I would think then that the Chinese would yelling about all the traffic coming through them. The last I heard, the Chinese aren't saying anything except for an announcement about "condemning" NK for the Sony data grab. Makes me wonder if they're behind this....

Do you think it might have something "internal addressing system" being "hacked" last week ?, easy to switch off a country with that info ....

to quote from a press release, I seen somewhere, "http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/12/19/icann_stresses_critical_internet_systems_not_hacked/"

but just the info you would need .....

Tor node

A tor node in Holland That is on spam lists gets messed with ( www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/77.95.229.20 ) plus my be more. Then ddos in nork land . May be that some wanted to watch a film?

Gag!

I am, and there must be many others here who are, sickened at the sight of that overfed monstrosity of a humanoid when the vast majority of his countrymen are undernourished and, at this time of year, freezing.

Free Internet for All

Perhaps the hackers should have opened up the internet for all Norks to see rather than shut down something most have no access to anyway.

Now that would have really pissed of Kimmy

North Korea admits they have a fibre problem

Kim Jong Un orders all residents to eat more cereal

Let's hope

Let's hope that it's not the USA who has carried this out. It would mean they really are run by the corporations - including (ironically) a Japanese one. This should be a matter for Sony to sort out - primarily by sorting out their IT.

PR

As true as that dead girlfriend story ?

Any old crap becomes news for NK so the truth does get somewhat blurred.

I was shocked to see

That the americans (allegedly) were removing all NORKS from the internet! I mean what are we meant to do for porn now?
