cyberattack disrupts North Korea’s internet over 40 websites go down

A cyberattack likely caused internet outages in North Korea this week, network monitor Kentik found.
Kentik’s Doug Madory said traffic spikes that began on Tuesday pointed to a denial-of-service attack.
More than 40 official .kp websites went down, including the foreign ministry and state news agency KCNA.
Madory said the data does not show who was responsible, and only part of the traffic was analysed.
