North Korea DDoSed Off the Internet
North Korea has been knocked off the Internet by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Maybe the US did it, and maybe not.
This whole incident is a perfect illustration of how technology is equalizing capability. In both the original attack against Sony, and this attack against North Korea, we can’t tell the difference between a couple of hackers and a government.

Unless we have visibility into NK, I think it’s premature to say they were DDOSed off the net. NK barely has electricity, and their tech is not exactly state of the art. I’d assume they had an outage without proof of a DDOS.
