Internet is down in North Korea. Anonymous? The U.S.?

The loss of service came just days after President Obama pledged that the United States would launch a “proportional response” to the recent attacks on Sony Pictures, which government officials have linked to North Korea. While an attack on North Korea’s networks was suspected, there was no definitive evidence of it.

If the attack was American in origin — something the United States would probably never acknowledge — it would be a rare effort by the United States to attack a nation’s Internet connections. Until now, most operations by the United States have amounted to cyberespionage, mostly to collect defense information or the communications of terrorism suspects.

Lol....it's fair play

So the Internet is down in one man's house? Come on, we can do better than that.

White House nudges Congress to revisit controversial 'CISPA-style' laws after Sony attack | ZDNet

Critics called the new bill, the similarly named Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), an "even more toxic bill than the original CISPA bill." It will be debated and voted on by the full Senate in the new year.

CISA is designed to encourage ways of sharing information between government agencies and the private sector, including technology companies. It contains similar language to CISPA, its fallen predecessor. Critics warn the law, if passed, will allow private sector firms to search personal and sensitive user data of ordinary U.S. residents to identify "threat information," which can then be shared with other opt-in firms and the federal government -- without the need for a court-ordered warrant.

White House Economic Council Director Jeff Zients said at a Politico breakfast on Friday that there would be more executive action by the president in order to protect federal government assets.

"But in order to take this to the next level we need legislation," he said,

The White House has not yet publicly indicated whether or not the president would veto CISA, however.

The Sony hack, however, was severe enough for the Obama administration to consider it a "serious national security issue" on Thursday.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

**** Congress and this bill.

 

[devilof76]

Well, he's still continuing the same policies as his father. The rumors have it, that he killed his own uncle, and threw his uncle's entire family into one of those god-forsaken concentration camps. And then there's all of the nuclear threats... South Korea is certainly not taking him lightly.

Never underestimate a man with a tiny nose.

This is just typical knee jerk reactionary lizard brain fearmongering kind of thinking. That mask avatar you have would be ashamed at such a lack of critical thinking.

So, you missed the joke, huh?

* prays North Korean hackers target Michael Bay movies next *

So you got the joke, huh?

I wonder if the new leak will list all the celebrities in Hollywood that are gay..

I bet that would get a lot of attention

Would it be a list of celebrities everyone already knew were gay?

Sure you're not talking about Yankeesfanboy?

You do both seem to have a crush on E's avatar.

Love those guys.

Lol.

Not exactly the 'do something about it' that I had in mind.

North Korea's Internet links restored amid U.S. hacking dispute

 

[316what]

Alamo will be showing it on Dec 25th as well as an independent theater in Atlanta.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

You do both seem to have a crush on E's avatar.

Not nearly as big as your crush on Ayn Rand and the Founding Fathers. Oh yeah, and the 1 percent. How could I forget about them?

And if you're going to throw in your lot with anarchists, it's better if they're rich anarchists, huh?

 

[Morgul Matt]

Censorship wins again.

If that trailer was anything to go by then this time censorship may have been a welcome blessing.

 

[crows]

watch...they are going to try to pass sopa again as well, everyone worrying about a stupid movie while we will have to say good bye to net neutrality... the terrorists win again

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, that's a given. This is just what the doctor ordered to get it passed. Sponsers of bills like this must just rub their hands in glee when incidents of this nature occur.

I'm not an anarchist. Just an American.
