All that had to happen to black out the internet in North Korea is for somebody to trip over the wire they had plugged into the router at that Chinese 7-11 just over the border. The whole country has been piggy-backing off that service all this time.

I thought internet was banned in North Korea anyway...

I didnt think they had internet since they are still using floppy disks. And even if they do, theres no effin way they could download 100 terabytes without someone noticing, because that takes months if not years with our current technology. No way North Koreas internet is better than ours. So it was either an inside job at Sony from a disgruntled employee or someone from Russia, China, or Iran that could make it look like it came from North Korea.

Talk about upgrading infrastructure . Last time i heard they were piggybacking on some senior citizen north of the border who left his WiFi in "unsecured" mode.

They only have around 1000 ip addresses for the whole country.
