If this was retaliation for what N. Korea did to Sony, it's merely a poke and nothing more. The Sony hack was an expensive one. The fiasco with "The Interpreter" alone will cost Sony millions in lost revenue. They had to pay their actors, and they were expecting to start receiving their returns starting now, during the time of year when people go to the movies. Instead, the movie will probably be leaked on the internets, where Sony will not get a dime for the movie. By the time they actually release it, most folks who wanted to see it will likely have already seen it.
Add to that the
PR nightmare surrounding the leaked emails, and potential for identify theft, the cost to evaluate and contain the mess for Sony - that is a huge expense.
How much did it the 'massive outage' in N. Korea cost? So the 5 people who actually have the internets lost the ebay auction for the plush Hello Kitty doll. And they actually had to turn their attention to more important things...
IMHO, the Sony hack was like hitting a building with a bomb, and the N. Korea internet outage was like hitting a wall with a bullet.
Then again, there may be more bullets hitting the wall...
