#2200Gbps (if true) seems very high for a non reflection attack.

#3I knew it would be S.Korea. The company I used to work for, at the time I left, was dealing with some particularly spiteful individuals from S.Korea who have been DDoSing their gaming platform and their separate video host. This was happening off and on for about 12 months. Interestingly enough, each attack was committed by completely different individual and were unrelated. In one attack where the guy was caught (I think they caught all but 2 of the attackers), he claimed he ran the DDoS because he didn't like the fact that there was a Japanese pop music video being hosted on the video site. This wasn't a young kid either, the guy was 33 and had a full time job at some advertising company.

This more or less reflects my stance on SK too. I ran a reasonably large APAC/SEA esports-related site for a while, competing sites in SK often attempted to attack it (and outright told me as such, to get out of korea). It's strange and I really have no idea why.

There are assholes in every country.
It's easier for assholes in some countries to launch DDoS attacks than it is for assholes in other countries.
With the one of the world's largest userbases of outdated IE with tons of ActiveX plugins, South Korea sure is a nice place to run a botnet.
On the other hand, most of the ISPs mentioned in the article are not Korean, so maybe it's a bit more complicated.

Could this be a state-sponsored attack? Or an attack by nationalists who are against people bypassing the anti-everything-speech-related laws?

#10According to the founder [1], Telegram was even removed from Play Store for a few hours at the request of a South Korean competitor.
For whatever reason, somebody in South Korea is seriously pissed off with Telegram.
