They have internet. they also run a cyber warfare unit that targets military computer networks in South Korea and the U.S.
In this case, they're using N. Korean spies in SK and China to distribute rogue softwares that operate DDoS attack.
from this activity, thousands of computers around the globe were infected with rogue software that told them to repeatedly attempt to access the targeted sites, a tactic aimed at driving up traffic beyond the sites' normal capacity and denying access to legitimate user.
So far, approximately 23,000 ~ 28,000 coumputers are infected and mobilized to attack websites in both countries.
I guess this attack is retaliation for UN resolution 1874 which is banning NK's weapons export.
