North Korea's internet is down. You go, USA!

If you've been following the Sony, North Korea and the US
government saga then you should know what this is about.
But let me give a brief summary because I'm about to board
a flight.
Sony Pictures released a movie called The Interview, a
comedy about a fictional assassination of North Korean
leader, Kim Jong Un.. North Korean didn't find it funny and
hacked into Sony's computers, rendering thousands of
computers inoperable and forced Sony to take its entire
computer network offline. That wasn't enough, they then
threatened terror attack on US citizens if Sony doesn't
cancel showing the movie, forcing Sony to pull the interview
from theaters and losing almost $200m. Then the US govt
got involved and told Sony to go ahead and release the
movie, that they don't take lightly to threats and promised to
retaliate for the attack on Sony. It looks like they've kept
their to promise. North Korea is currently offline. Lol
"Internet connectivity between North Korea and the outside
world is currently suffering one of its worst outages in
recent memory, suggesting that the country may be
enduring a mass cyber attack a few days after President
Obama warned the US would launch a "proportional
response" to North Korea's hack against Sony
North Korea, which has four official networks connecting
the country to the Internet -- all of which route through
China -- began experiencing intermittent problems
yesterday and today went completely black, according to
Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research
in Hanover, New Hampshire." Bloomberg reports.
I find this so hilarious! Moral of the story, don't mess with
the US. Will be MIA for a few hours... traveling out of the
country. See you guys soon!
