Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 http://www.dailydot.com/politics/north-korea-internet-down-hard/?fb=dd Four days after the White House vowed a “proportional” response to the perpetrators of the devastating attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, North Korea appears to be completely offline. On Friday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that North Korea was behind the attack on Sony, an allegation that the North Korean government has vehemently denied, albeit in a bizarrely poetic format. President Obama, in a Friday afternoon news conference, called the cyberattack an act of “cybervandalism” rather than war. When reporters asked how the U.S. would counter North Korea's apparent attack, Obama said that he would respond proportionately after being presented with all options. On Monday, it appeared possible that the president had directed one component of that response to begin. North Korea, Dyn Research announced Monday, has been experiencing significant outages since sometime Sunday. These intermittent and escalating connectivity issues finally resulted in a complete outage on Monday at around 2pm EST. Speculation immediately focused on a possible U.S. government hand in the mystery outage. A State Department official refused to deny American involvement, cryptically telling the Associated Press that "some [u.S. responses] will be seen, some may not be seen." Nine hours later, their internet was restored and working again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
