Hacker confesses to shutting down North Korea’s internet
 

Disappointed that the US did not seem interested in protecting its security experts

Hacked off that the US authorities were not doing enough to stop North Korean hackers attacking security experts, a solitary hacker switched off North Korea’s internet to show them who was boss.

For the past two weeks, observers of North Korea's strange and tightly restricted corner of the internet began to notice that the country seemed to be dealing with some serious connectivity problems. On several different days, practically all of its websites -- the notoriously isolated nation only has a few dozen -- intermittently dropped offline en masse, from the booking site for its Air Koryo airline to Naenara, a page that serves as the official portal for dictator Kim Jong-un's government.

At least one of the central routers that allow access to the country's networks appeared at one point to be paralysed, crippling the Best Korea’s digital connections to the outside world.
