Kim Jong Un will be leading his troops on an invasion of the USA tomorrow.
North Korea’s access to the Internet has been hit with outages and is offline today, according to a network-monitoring company, days after the U.S. government accused the country of hacking into Sony Corp.’s files.
North Korea, which has four official networks connecting the country to the Internet -- all of which route through China -- began experiencing intermittent problems yesterday and today went completely black, according to Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research in Hanover, New Hampshire.
U.S. President Barack Obama said last week that Sony Pictures Entertainment had suffered significant damage and vowed to respond. North Korea warned yesterday that any U.S. punishment over the hacking attack on would lead to a retaliation “thousands of times greater.” North Korea has said it doesn’t know the identity of the hackers -- who call themselves “‘Guardians of Peace’’ -- claiming responsibility for breaking into Sony’s computer network and divulging internal e-mail messages.
‘‘The situation now is they are totally offline,’’ Madory said. ‘‘I don’t know that someone is launching a cyber-attack against North Korea, but this isn’t normal for them. Usually they are up solid. It is kind of out of the ordinary. This is not like anything I’ve seen before.”

Pyongyang, North Korea.
The attack on Sony’s computers exposed Hollywood secrets, destroyed data and caused the studio to cancel the release of “The Interview,” a comedy about a fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The hackers rendered thousands of computers inoperable and forced Sony to take its entire computer network offline.

I wondered what happened to the chit chat night shift
Have we got the emails of the Placepot lads in N.Korea? They're bound to be a bit stressed out about potentially missing the Boxing day comp.
I've been off line since my contribution to The Leopards previous thread re King John Un's absence from political affairs a couple months back.
Thank god for the library.
