If youve 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 Sony Pictures released a movie called The Interview, a comedy about a fictional assassination of North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.. North Korean didnt find it funny and hacked into Sonys computers, rendering thousands of computers inoperable and forced Sony to take its entire computer network offline. That wasnt enough, they then threatened terror attack on US citizens if Sony doesnt 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 dont take lightly to threats and promised to retaliate for the attack on Sony. It looks like theyve 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 Koreas 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, dont mess with the US. Wish i could hack like that
