Re: Internet Outage in North Korea, Network Researcher Says
#2Rather than spawn a whole bunch of different submissions on this same story, I am replying to this submission, the first I have seen on this breaking news story, with some links to other reporting. The Washington Post blog report is titled "North Korea’s Internet is going suspiciously haywire" and links to some other online sources. Verge reports "North Korea's internet is having serious problems"[2] linking to one of the same sources, a site called North Korea Tech.[3] The New York Times reports, "Attack Is Suspected as North Korean Internet Collapses."[4] Most of the usual news outlets are confirming this story now.
I suppose once the breaking news aspect of this story is followed up some more, there will be the usual rounds of speculation and claims and counterclaims about what is going on and who is causing the apparent country-wide Internet outage. I'll refrain from speculating here until I have gathered more news.

#3All this solves nothing.
The 20+ million in North Korea who never even heard of the internet still are starving while this petty "war" goes on.

Indeed. I really wonder how long their junta can hold it...
