We should direct them to Comcast / Xfinity customer 'service'.

They'll never get back online.

Default North Korea experiencing widespread Internet outages

Quote:
North Korea experienced a massive Internet outage Monday, and some researchers and web watchers speculated that the country's online connections could be under cyberattack.
I think the bigger story here is news that NK even had access to the Interwebz!

Maybe someone unplugged their AOL dialup? Kim might have to dig out Daddy's collection of VHS porn to entertain himself tonight?

This afternoon on the radio they were speculating that China is actually behind this. It's their way of punishing their "ally" for getting out of line.

I bet all kinds of organizations would be willing to pile on. If nothing else, target practice. Long may it last.

The really nice thing about this is it punishes the power elite. Because you can bet there is not an equivalent to city-data for the ordinary north korean.

Some guy in his parents basement could do this. North Korea doesn't exactly have a huge number of internet users.

They quite literally have only 1024 internet ip addresses for their entire country.
