Surprised nobody’s mentioned the fact that the entire country of North Korea has been mysteriously knocked off the internet.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (that’s “North Korea” to the common man) has just four networks that connect to the world wide web – and none of them are working today. “The situation now is they are totally offline,” Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Dyn Research told Bloomberg. After a weekend of spotty connections, the country’s pipeline to the outside world reportedly went down this morning. “This isn’t normal for them,” Madory said. “Usually they are up solid. It is kind of out of the ordinary. This is not like anything I’ve seen before.”

The Network researcher didn’t go out of his way to suggest that North Korea’s internet service is under direct attack, but the idea has some merit. Just last week the FBI officially stated that it believed North Korea to be behind the recent hack at Sony Pictures, and US President Barack Obama promised to “respond proportionally, and in a place, time and manner that we choose.” Considering the events of the past week, it’s an easy suspicion to cling to, but it’s also very unconfirmed: White House National Security spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan stated that the White House has no new comments on North Korea today. “If in fact North Korea’s internet has gone down,” she wrote to Bloomberg, “We’d refer you to that government for comment.”

Looks like Lil Kim might be in the movie after all. He’s probably gonna hate this alternate ending.

UN finally discuss NK human rights record, about fucking time its only been like 60 years of brutal dictatorship. China and Russia want to block the discussion? Seriously lose faith in humanity when I hear shit like this, millions of peoples lives pissed away cause the assholes at the UN SC dont wanna shake dicks on certain issues.

NK internet being down means jack shit as well since literally nobody has anyway to use it anyway.

wow that’s really cool. I was watching for about 5 minutes at the single dots flying out from the US and East Asia when suddenly Brazil just turned into a huge mass of yellow and fired straight into Europe.

SoVi3t · December 23, 2014, 5:02am

lol of course China and Russia don’t want to discuss North Korean human rights violations, considering they’re both probably sending political dissidents there.

I am more amazed at the White House’s comments that were essentially “we won’t discuss any actions being taken right now against North Korea, if there were any…”

Don_Barracuda · December 23, 2014, 5:06am

Oh shit its on like donkey kong N.Korea might have sharks with hacking lasers in the south atlantic ocean
