N. Korea Blames US For Internet Outage, Compares Obama to "a Monkey"
Reuters reports that North Korea's government has publicly blamed the U.S. for the widespread internet outages that the country has recently experienced (including today), and taken the opportunity to lambaste President Obama, as well. From the article: The National Defence Commission, the North's ruling body, chaired by state leader Kim Jong Un, said Obama was responsible for Sony's belated decision to release the action comedy "The Interview", which depicts a plot to assassinate Kim. "Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," an unnamed spokesman for the commission said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency, using a term seemingly designed to cause racial offence that North Korea has used before.
The reporting on the hacking seems to be missing something... what hole did they use, or was this just a password leak? What were the other movies (We know about "The Interview"...) that were affected by this hack?
Cutting North Korea's Internet access is just a trial run, the real objective is to cut Internet access to everyone in the U.S.A.
Well, they just need to go ahead with the Comcast/Times-Warner merger.
One net to rule them all, one DNS to find them, one link to bring them all and into dark ports bind them in the land of dollars where the politicians lie.
At some point you have to apply Occam's razor and ask who benefits.
At some point... Yeah, the very first thing to ask would be that.
So, you're saying that Sony leaked thousands of extremely embarrassing and in some cases damaging internal documents...
Or anybody shorting the stock... It took a dip for a while and is now rebounding.
Please, people, get the silly politics out of your heads. This is strictly business. Could be some soap opera between Sony, Samsung, and LG, who knows, who cares, aside from the drama and intrigue for somebody's next movie.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
The governments lie, the media lie. That's normal. That's the same in dictatorships and democracies.
The difference is that in a functioning democracy, they tell different lies.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
