Merry Christmas North Korea! Most of you know North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Seems he is warning the USA of strikes against the White House, Pentagon and "the whole U.S. mainland, "that cesspool of terrorism." if Sony Pictures releases a movie whose plot focuses on the assassination of its leader Kim Jong Un, who is the beneficiary of a decades-long cult of personality built around his family dynasty. It is rumored Kim asked some of his friends to hack Sony Corp to cancel "The Interview's" release. A difficult task considering North Korea is one of the least connected countries in the world. Few North Koreans have access to computers, and even those who do are typically able to connect only to a domestic intranet. Though North Korea is equipped for broadband Internet, only a small, approved segment of the population has any access to the World Wide Web. More than a million people, however, are now using mobile phones in North Korea. The network covers most major cities but users cannot call outside the country or receive calls from outside. North Korea is currently experiencing sweeping and progressively worse Internet outages extending into Monday. The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible. While Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, an Internet performance company, said Monday the problems began over the weekend and grew progressively worse to the point that "North Korea's totally down." Even though our friends in North Korea won't see this message. Let us all wish them a Merry Christmas and welcome to the stone age. |

their welcome to the stone age shouldn't be too difficult as most aren't too far removed from that anyway.

It is a pretty simple sort of hack similar to the one Unanimous pulled on the Church of Scientology.

North Korea has a cyber-war capability but its Internet is tiny and tightly controlled by the government. Known by the name "Kwangmyong," it's connected to the world Internet via a single Internet service provider (ISP), Star-KP. The entire network has a mere 1,024 IPv4 addresses and 18 Web domains. It also has no IPv6 addresses. It may well be the world's smallest national Internet. To connect with the rest of the world, it relies on China Unicom, a People's Republic of China ISP.
