North Korea's connections to the Internet were briefly cut for the second day running Tuesday, according to a US Internet research group that has been tracking the country's struggle to stay online.
They continue to face "connectivity problems" and the brief blackout happened after several hours of an unstable connection, similar to the results of an external attack, the research group said.
On Monday, North Korea had been cut off from the Internet for more than nine hours, triggering speculation that the isolated dictatorship had been targeted by United States authorities.

Just stupid.
IDGAF who the leader is.
I also have a huge problem with the political response to this, versus for example, the video supposedly responsible for Benghazi.

Maybe you'd be happier moving to a country like North Korea. No worries about the movie industry there.

Not even for Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, or Mussolini if the movie was made back then?

Well, when is it not.
I think this was a correct response. By not responding it would encourage North Korea to more of this behavior.

Nice guy.
So nice that fed his own uncle, stripped naked, to a pack of starving dogs and was eaten alive.

Not exactly, but I'm not sure WTF assassinating him would accomplish in the grand scheme of NK. We dicked around with similar concepts dealing with Cuba in the early 1960's. Did that lead to an "outcome"? Who knows.
Is NK worth the risk?

Well, the First Amendment does protect a person's right to say and create stupid shite.
Thank god, or we'd all be in trouble for the shite we spew here.

This is the 800 lb gorilla in the room that nobody is noticing.
WHY was our admin so adamant about pulling that 'stupid video,' publicly shaming it, and putting the creator in jail??
unbelievable what is happening to this country.
I weep for my great grandson's future.

If you knew all thousand or so IP addresses that NK has it would be very easy to shut down their internet with a ddos attack. It would not surprise me at all if this is what is happening to them right now.

I honestly thought only the govt had Internet access and didn't allow it's citizens to use it

And this may be one of the nicer ways to die in North Korea. I can't imagine a really bad death over there.

I recently heard a story (from a South Korean missionary 8 miles south of the DMZ taking in NK refugees) where NK tricked kindergartners into bringing a Bible from their house to get a reward.
A 17 year old boy said his sister didn't know any better and found their Bible and brought it in. Supposedly the parents were brought before the town and shot in the legs and told to recant. They kept shooting them in non-vital areas and gave them chances to recant. When it became apparent they would not, they steamrolled them

"Bomb a house of ours we take out a city, bomb a city of ours we take out a region."
Once we had leaders that stuck to this and countries left us alone, for the most part. If we can prove it was NK that made the cyber attack I say we put them back into the stoneage, technologically speaking of course.
