“… there is a group of privileged elites in North Korea who can access the real internet, which is forbidden to everyone else. The number of people in North Korea with actual internet access is estimated at a few thousand—the tiny core of the country’s sprawling government—most of them top government officials.”
.:: Update ::.
And with the Hermit Kingdom having been put in its place and Kim Jong-un promising to behave so he can watch The Great Escape on Netflix on Christmas Day …
President Obama hails Sony’s decision to release The Interview on Christmas Day after all (independent.co.uk).
“The company has now authorised a limited number of cinemas to show the film on its original release date, according to some cinema managers. And Sony Pictures may even make it available through video on-demand channels on Thursday, too.”
Puppy in a cup back on the menu: North Korea internet back up after nation-wide outage (telegraph.co.uk)
“North Korea’s internet has begun working again after a nine-hour disruption, that followed a US vow to respond to a cyberattack on Sony Pictures that Washington blames on Pyongyang.”
So… did the US just hit back at North Korea for hacking? (msn.com).
“North Korea’s limited connectivity and lack of Internet sophistication would make it relatively simple for a band of hacktivists to shut down online access, and we should not assume that the US government had any part, said Dan Holden, director of security research at Arbor Networks. ‘Anyone of us that was upset because we couldn’t watch the movie, you could do that. Their Internet is just not that sophisticated,’ he said.”
It could just be fatty Kim the Third pulled the plug tripping over the cable with that gammy leg of his. But if it was the Mei-Gu, was Uncle Sam cross about human rights abuses, with the rattling of short length nuclear sabre at its southern ex or the barbecuing of puppies in a cup? Hell no, you let the world know Jennifer Lawrence got paid less than Christian Bale and uses a peanutbutt@ email addy, you bastards!
