"Costs": North Korean's Internet Is Under Attack
Coincidence? Maybe not. Just hours after President Obama de-escalated himself from war to vandalism on the alleged North korea hacking of Sony, DYN Research reports North Korea's internet connectivity with the rest of the world has been spotty all day. As North Korea Tech blogs reports, North Korea’s Internet connection does suffer from periodic outages. but “I haven’t seen such a steady beat of routing instability and outages in KP before,” said DYN's Doug Madory.
As North Korea tech blog reports,
If you’ve been trying to connect to North Korean Internet sites in the last 24 hours, you might have been unsuccessful.
Connectivity between North Korea and the rest of the world has been spotty for much of the time, according to Dyn Research.
Look at the graph below. Each period of purple corresponds to an outage on North Korea’s Internet connection.
Is this related to all that’s been going on in the last few days? Possibly. North Korea’s Internet connection does suffer from periodic outages, so it could be something as mundane as network maintenance or a failing router.
On the other hand…
“I haven’t seen such a steady beat of routing instability and outages in KP before,” said Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research. “Usually there are isolated blips, not continuous connectivity problems. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are absorbing some sort of attack presently.”

So the 10 people who own computers in NK now can't get on? How many millions of tax dollars did the US waste doing this?
obama is too big of pussy to do this., this hacker is a ZH poster working from moms basement
BGPe in trouble in the NKorea!
Maybe they should quit buying their network equipment from the NSA.
.
Oceania has always been at cyberwar with Eastasia.
Quick...tell me...why, exactly, did the US go to war with North Korea in 1950, killing more than 36,000 Americans.
Oh, man...Are they running out of countries to fuck with or what?
North Korea? Really???
The answer is Japan.
Sound familiar?
I've been reading Bloomberg as this entire Sony event has unfolded, and not a single person on that site can understand that Sony is a Japanese company. Why is the US stepping in? Germans can deal with issues against Siemens, the Swiss can deal with Nestle, and the Japanese can deal with Sony.
Sony is part of the propaganda wing of the CIA
What do Amy Pascal, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Franco have in common? AIPAC wants its money invested in the shit film.
"Quick...tell me...why, exactly, did the US go to war with North Korea in 1950, killing more than 36,000 Americans."
And over 2,730,000 korean civilians.
Don't forget the real victims.
Paraphrasing Stalin - Americans getting killed is a tragedy. Foreigners getting killed by Americans is a statistic. Foreigners getting killed by other foreigners? Well, that depends on natural resources and the the extent of CIA involvement in operations.
Example - Saddam killing 10's of thousands Kurds while disallowing construction of oil pipeline out of Azerbaijan in 1980's is a tragedy. Tukey killing 10's of thousands of Kurds while allowing the same pipeline to be built is a statistic.
c'mon man... get real...

Communism. Russia and China were a growing threat to american capitalism.
american crony-capitalism , oligarchy
To eliminate dissenters against Truman, Eisenhower, the UN, the NSA and the CIA, to verify Nazi & Japanese experiments, to give the emerging American middle class a haircut, to develop propaganda & jet aviation tactics and to extend their expiring war powers. Business as usual, 1945 - 2014.
Um, the North Koreans invaded South Korea. The US came to the aid of South Korea, which requested US assistance.
What do I win?
But dear leader! I cannot understand it! It is Windows 8.1, the latest softwares from Microsoft! Best in breed!
They're still busy sorting through the electronics on the Pueblo. Yah, I know, just kidding, they gave traded all that stuff to Russian and Chine a long time ago.
Incorrect. Mom kicked me out, I work from my grandma's basement now.
I didn't even know there was such a thing as a North Korean Internet Site; Am I supposed to be worried about this ? Frankly, I don't give a fuck.
Would it kill them to take the graphic back further in time so we can get a better feel from wtf "normal" is...??
What, we gonna spam 'em back to the Stone Age?
"Normal" appears to be large attacks on US and PERU, at least for the last 10 days. Now, WTF would anyone attack Peru ? It must be our ball bearings guy...
LOL correct. Numbers out of context are meaningless. In the same week, NK hacks Sony and US normalizes relations with Cuba thanks to a Pope's intervention, and Rubio, a Catholic, disagrees. Multivariable equation.
Wait, Norks do have computers, right?
I saw a Korean abacus recently, made by crapple.
Certainly no "systems' to attack.
Living in the Bronze age has advantageous.
Yes, today Big Brother says so.
Well, let that be a lesson to them!
Huh.
I didn't even know North Korea had electricity.
Did the CIA hack their Nintendo gameboy? No tetris.
funny, they were able to hack sony with a nintendo unit... or was it a PS3?
I seem to recall that they also have been shutting down some nation's electrical grids.
Presumably they are working with the Chinese adn or Russians, who either stole our technology, or got it for free from Clinton.
We DDoS'd some folks.
The smoke is leaking out of their acoustic coupler modems.
And here I was thinking they were communicating via particularly taut string.
Acoustic coupler modems, you say? Pah, next you'll be telling me their tires are pneumatic.
the whole population is starving, but they have internet?! Didn't they already eat their iPads?
propaganda is in overdrive
Accusation's as good as a factual proof when we do the talking.
If every ZH'er were to try and access a website in NK we could probably take it down.
pods
OK, Pods, I'll bite. See if you can find a link to a website actually hosted in North Korea, and we'll all visit it at (say) 22:00 GMT.
Pick an IP
http://nknetobserver.github.io/
No way! You mean there are guys HERE who both understand how the internet works, and would be willing to fuck with NK? Holy shit, I can't believe it! Maybe I jumped the gun buying that 'Korean for Dummies' text.
Come to think of it...I haven't seen CPL around here in a while LOL!
Did he get Francis Sawyered?
Somebody reboot that Commodore 64 for those dumb Koreans.
Sinclair 8k.
Wasn't that his gold prediction?
So dumb that they allegedly hacked a major corporation. Someone is lying.
They probably paid some Russian or Chinese hackers to do it for them.
Or maybe ISIS, in return for some U235. Kill two birds with one stone.
Which is why the Feds have "proof" it was PRNK... because ISIS, Russia and China.
?
Indeed.
LOL...
Has anyone considered Iran? SPECTRE? Maybe the Joker?
their commodore might have more gold than we have at fort Knox.
Too much free porn.
Maybe the North Koreans need to reset their router. Or reboot their server.
damn, they even cannot call Bangalore.
Serves the North Koreans right - next time they shouldn't accept all that surplus US IT equipment that China is dumping!
So Kim Jung Un (whatever the name is) can't surf porn sites anymore.
Yep, their 300 baud modems have been nuked!
I want to see that chart solid purple for the next 5 years.
Im still trying to figure out why eastern EU free porn websites have better stability than ZH does, a day doesn't go by without my browser freezing on ZH am I the only one?
how do you know the porn sites work better?
north korea cannot achieve much with so small penis

Wrong Goop.
If you’ve been trying to connect to North Korean Internet sites in the last 24 hours, you might have been unsuccessful.
Darn! So that's why!
So thats why my Sears online purchases have not gone through. Actually that might explain more than that...
It is clear where this is going. We will wake up and our cell phones and www simply won't work; or will have a Department of Defense / Department of Homeland Security header on the top of each page. Full censorship. Ok tech heads, tell me I "obviously don't know how the Internet works." Then tell me how does an unplugged electrical device work; or how a severed line transmits. It will be as ham-fisted as that.
Prepare accordingly.
The funny thing is that our own shit-for-brains dear leader actually believes the FBI on this.
I love the smell of tits for tats in the morning
"*NORTH KOREA SHOULD COMPENSATE SONY FOR HACKING DAMAGES: HARF"
So what happened to Due Process? When did I miss the day that the US turned its "System of Checks & Balances" into a Kangaroo Court system?
"We Pyongyankeed some folks"
Sony has announced they will ...Release The Movie!!!
Makes me think Michael Brown, Eric Garner and all the "cops" & cop killers are crisis actors. Introducing lil Rahm as the punk who has yet to explain to his parents what he was doing roaming the streets of Chicago at midnight...
actually it was only 10:05 pm when little ballerina got jumped and yes we are living in a movie
duh.
He was trying to escape.
Clapper "clapped"!
What's the Korean word for "scape-goat"?
Wow, we are pulling a Grenada moment here.
You gotta admit that being the dear leader has its perks. Probably the best gig in politics. No criticism no matter what you do and the women weep when they see you.
Look like both accounts are having trouble.
I thought this country was trying reduce bullies and bullying.......or is that only for the peeps and not the elites?
I'm still trying to figure out why the hacking of a foreign-owned movie company's database is a matter of such urgent US security?
Humm, I'm wondering whether or not McCain and Graham consider this an act of war against N Korea?
Humm, now I'm wondering why I lost my internet connection right after I made this comment
Who's dropping all the MIRV's on Peru, and why?
