Oh for the love of god, 15 web sites get defaced and it's suddenly worth
trying to deny internet access to a billion people?
They watch a story on the news, and think "wouldn't it be kewl if...". Any
excuse or boredom will do, and then the media blows it out of proportion
because it makes for an interesting story. I bet it's probably the same
number of hacks that you'd see on a normal day, just against another
country's www..gov's instead of their own.
Really; statistically, it'd make more sense to block .com and .net.
or statistically basing the blocks on networks which actually do something
once notified.
right now it seems to be an average of 25% response (which is pathetic),
whereas to .cn sites its around 0%

Agreed. Although I did spend some time today going over DDOS
and other attack response methods with my people. I figure
if I were Chinese, I'd be relayed into some clueless newbies new
1+ghz pentium with a fresh RedHat 7.0 install on a fast
connection INSIDE the US and then relay into other boxen from there
before really attacking. It may be a busy week, what about the
native 'elite' that decide this is the perfect cover for rampant
mayhem?
Remember when you trusted people on the 'net just a little bit?
I still remember the day when we all had to modify our Fidonet setups so
that people couldn't send a "pkzip.bat" file to hack you. 
I also remember when adding .kr to your hosts.deny blocked half your
"got his password on IRC" hacks.
All that's changed is the volume.
While the clue level for most countries has increased (even if just a
little bit) over the past 5 years, the clue level for .kr has remained
exactly zero. Even yugoslavia seems to have found some clue the past year
or so. Korea remains as blissfully stupid as ever.

Seems they are starting to notice. I'm seeing more questions like "why is
our mail rejected by so many places?", and an accompanying increased
effort at maintaining a somewhat stable WHOIS server for .kr networks. So
they are beginning to clue in.
Sanctions work.
Hi
Have you tried the Korea CERT ?
