north-koreaNorth Korea experienced a massive Internet outage today, according to tech experts who claim the duress currently being placed on the Hermit Kingdom’s network is consistent with a cyberattack.

Pyongyang has denied that its agents are responsible for hacking into Sony’s email database in revenge for making The Interview.

Despite North Korea’s professed innocence, President Obama has threatened measured retaliation against Kim Jong Un’s regime. A U.S. official declined to tell the Associated Press whether the U.S. is behind the attack.

Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research, says a denial of service attack on North Korea may be underway.

Another finger could be pointed at China, which grants North Korea internet access through its telecommunications network. Read more at The New York Times.
