That’s a nice internet you got there Kim Jung-du

Be a shame if anything happened to it now, wouldn’t it? You know, like having the entire thing collapse so that you can’t get your grubby hands on that puppy porn you love so much?

It seems that North Korea has “Mysteriously” dropped off the Internet due to a massive outage. According to Fox News:

North Korea was experiencing a massive Internet outages on Monday, and one expert said the country’s online access was “totally down.” Some researchers and Web watchers speculate that the country’s online connections could be under a cyber attack.

Now, how hard can it be to jam a 56K dial up modem? I wonder who is responsible for this?

The White House and the State Department declined to say whether the U.S. government was responsible.

Oh I’m sure we have nothing to do with this “officially.”

“We have no new information to share regarding North Korea today,” Bernadette Meehan, White House National Security Council spokesperson, told Fox News. “If in fact North Korea’s Internet has gone down, we’d refer you to that government for comment.”

Nope, we have nothing to do with this, nothing to see here, move along now.

Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at New Hampshire-based Dyn Research, a company that studies Internet connectivity, said the problems were discovered over the weekend and grew progressively worse to the point that “North Korea’s totally down.” “They have left the global Internet and they are gone until they come back,” he said.

So, like Elvis, North Korea has left the planet? What a shame. I wonder what the problem might be?

He said one benign explanation for the problem was that a router suffered a software glitch, though a cyber-attack involving North Korea’s Internet service was also a possibility. Routing instabilities are not uncommon, but this particular outage has gone on for hours and was getting worse instead of better, Madory said. “This doesn’t fit that profile,” of an ordinary routing problem, he said. “This shows something getting progressively worse over time.”

I bet it’s the Iranians. They must be pissed at the North Korean’s for that Stuxnet trojan and have decided to take revenge. Yeah, that’s it! It’s the Iranians. Frankly, I don’t care who trashed their network, but it’s a good start. A nice followup would be a visit from Mr. Tomahawk and all his relatives. Of course, that won’t happen. Those Iranian hackers don’t have anything like the Tomahawk, unless they photoshopped it, and those don’t tend to rearrange the landscape when they come calling. Oh Well, sucks to be you Kim Jung-DUH!

Thatisall
