Korean “Cyber-Terrorists” Hack 2ch

Top Japanese board 2ch remains inaccessible, due to the hacking efforts of Koreans outraged at criticism of their Olympic figure skating champion Kim Yu-Na.

The host afflicted, a US company, reports it intends to have the US government pursue a cyber-terrorism investigation.

2ch-servers-down.png

Reportedly almost all of the dozens of servers and hundreds of boards which constitute 2ch have been taken offline as a result of the attack, apparently orchestrated through top Korean portal Naver (on a group called “The Just Terrorism Café”) in response to umbrage at isolated criticism of Olympic gold medal winning figure skater Kim Yu-Na.

A crude denial of service style attack is thought to be at fault – supposedly 50,000 people spamming F5 to reload pages succeeded in degrading network performance so greatly that the hosts had to take the servers offline to restore service levels for other customers at the data centre.

The host, Pacific Internet Exchange, reports that the servers will be put back online on the afternoon of the 2nd, and that other network damage has been contained.

Some of the Japanese language status reports speak of an “F5 attack,” an absurdly inefficient form of DoS, however later reports from the host claim it to be a more conventional DDoS attack using a legion of infected zombie bot computers.

Interestingly, as the host itself is a US corporation, it will reportedly be attempting to have US authorities investigate the incident as an act of cyber-terrorism against a US corporation.

Dear All,

We would like to update you regarding to the DDos attack which occurred on 2/28/10 6:35pm PST.

The incident was caused by mass amount of bot computers putting a stress on PIE.us’s network equipments.

Currently we have set an ACL (Access Control List) to IP’s from Korea and other countries but still do see a minor attack related to the incident.

This might possibly be caused by automated scripts and we are preparing to turn documentations and logs into local authorities as a cyber terrorism against U.S. corporation.

PIE bandwidth is now stable and we have lowered our level from Red to Orange.

Thank you,

PIE.us

Ryan Iwasaka

The irony of the attack is perhaps that hardly anyone on 2ch was even criticising Yu-Na (or more specifically, the judging of her performance), perhaps surprising in light of the near universal hatred for anything Korean usually expressed there – presumably this merely served as a convenient pretext for latent anti-Japanese sentiment, something many Koreans seem to harbour in excessive abundance.

Previous Korean attacks (of which there have been a number) against 2ch have generally flopped, being unable to take down more than a few of 2ch’s servers at once.

With 2ch still down, and thanks to an utterly ridiculous motive, Korea’s reputation for hyper-nationalism and a superficial hatred for most of its neighbours and even allies seems set to become even worse.

2ch decided to make a foray onto Korean sites by way of friendly reciprocity:

2ch-on-korean-board.png

The Vippers also made an appearance:

vip-on-korean-board.png

It is perhaps also fitting that 2ch’s response (made just prior to the servers falling) be examined:

They’re just going to be hated even more now though…

This is why people dislike that crass nation of barbarians.

Honestly, they’re depressing. How tedious.

Can’t they stop these unsightly acts. They’re only going to disgrace Yu-Na even more.

This just looks like childish retaliation from here. Koreans are crude, and absolutely mad.

Don’t they realise they are going to wreck her image like this?

And after she won a gold medal…

Just… Terrorism? I don’t understand…

Be sure to arrest them!

Just block Korea from 2ch completely already!

Mixing up people with no connection with this at all and making enemies of them, really they are a bunch of idiots.

They don’t even realise how crude they are.

Koreans basically have no concept of shame.

Domestically, 2ch is just the equivalent of toilet graffiti. But internationally it seems to be quite the powerhouse…

It’s the response of an elementary schooler after being insulted.

Honestly, I think everyone would rather Korea just go back to being a hermit kingdom.

    how come I always hear of Korean hacking Japanese websites? Doesn't Japanese have hackers, too. Or maybe they don't want to stoop to their levels?

    Why Koreans (some not all, you know who I'm talking about) act so stupidly everytime when something about Japan comes up, not just this but about Takeshima/Dokdo, Sea of Japan, etc.

    Seriously, the animal torturing and them acting like such fools and hurting themselves, I know they're trying to make a point, but the world just sees this as foolish acts.

    I know that on the Japanese sides, there are some wrongdoings as well. Like starting the Kim Yu-Na bashing.

    btw, I thought 2ch only allow access in Japan only, not foreign IPs, so why Koreans can?

    I've never really understood why South Koreans have so much pride, what is so amazing about SK that makes it better than many other nations that are in reality far better than it?

    Really?

    I mean the average South Korean is 10x more nationalistic than your average American, and at least Americans can take pride in SOME things...... like having the largest GDP (by far), most powerful military (by far), and so forth

    Being nationalistic for South Korea is like worshiping a pile of shit.

    It's ironic that Japanese nationalists bash the west and China/Korea, yet they attempt to mimick the culture and appearance of those places:

    -Meido
    -Sailor outfits
    -Wide eyes
    -Hair colors
    -Kanji
    -Foreign loan words
    -Cuisine
    -Architecture
    -Technology
    -Political system
    -Laws
    -Cultural traditions
    -Economics
    -Etc.

    If they hate America, Europe, and every other country, why don't they strip themselves from all foreign influences and live like their ancestors thousands of years ago?

    This doesn't seem surprising considering that japan blocks everyone else from 2chan and they think the world will just really take it with good nature. I think they were just itching for an excuse to give them an excessive attack, and it's not like the US government can do much either.. if they can take down so many servers at once it's not hard to see they'd cover their tracks.

    Fact is, the people of 2chan (not all of them but a lot) have said some pretty racist things in the past, and if they just let everyone else in they probably wouldn't bother hacking the board either. It seems very hard for me to feel sorry for them when I can't even take part in the board's activities..

    I know this article is like a year old and probably no one is going to read this, but here's some extra info. March 1st is a Korean national holiday for remembering protest by a bunch of Koreans (Mostly students) in 1919, when Korea was still annexed by Japan. Because of this, around that time of the year, there is strong tension between the Koreans and the Japanese.

    Not all Koreans or Japanese are like that but some minor percentage of retards on the internet start to fight over something stupid like in this case, Kim Yu-Na. They start to fight until it gets big like this...

    BTW this wasn't technically hacking... it was a DoS attack done by thousands of people running DoS programs that were distributed by the fewer percentage actual programmers

    judging from the comments
    i think its totally offensive and rude to laugh at a murder, even if u are racist.
    and the act of finding humor in death is either demonic or racist.
    and japan's government sucks, american's too, all governments suck! politicians....=.=*
    japan is a in fact a wacky country. they have crazy things, incest, free porn, and huge diversity, and groping on trains
    koreans are pretty much snobs and dont have too much manner, but then again a lot of old asians are disgusting
    koreans are too...they always care about their image its annoying

    i HATE stereotypes, which most of u are doing and stop being racist without a reason!

    From this, people tend to generalize Koreans as a whole, and to be honest, the fact that I'm hated by tons of strangers for simply being born into this ethnicity hurts. I think both countries are at fault on this one. Well, they're both at fault for every Korea/Japan issue. I see a lot of Japanese Korean haters, and Korean Japanese haters. A lot of us, from my age, don't really care for that, but we tend to get caught up in the tide from the internet as well as deep rooted animosity from the previous generation.

    Articles like this make me sad. The comments on them make me even sadder. It's really difficult to believe such racism exists in the present day.

    I hope one day, Korea and Japan will both put this past them and co-exist in harmony, but that will involve everyone's efforts, won't it?

    This is such a horribly biased article. First of all, it was 2ch that began these cyber terrorism attacks months ago. Heres an example-

    http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2008/12/116_36215.html

    The attack was not only motivated by retaliation against Japanese attacks but also because of this-

    http://extrakorea.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/korean-exchange-student-killed-by-group-of-russian-youths/

    In which 2ch laughed at, mocked and supported these attacks. Failing the realize that those same Russian skinheads would have also targeted a Japanese national had they been present. This was then followed by the Olympic figure skating championship.

    Basically, Kim Yuna skated a more difficult(and higher scoring) program without any mistakes. Mao skated an easier(lower scoring) program with several mistakes. Kim won gold, Mao won silver. 2ch being a poor sport began accusing Kim of bribing the judges. As if that was even necessary to win.

    Add in to the fire the fact that March 1 happened to be Korean independence Day(national holiday)-

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1st_Movement

    -and you have one giant recipe for a disaster of epic proportions. That being said, you have no right to accuse Koreans of stuff the Japanese have done many many times in the past.Heres a rough summary of what happened yesterday-

    Well I do admit that we koreans have an 'uber-nationalism' and like to show that everywhere.
    But I am one of those-can't say majority-many of korean people that are NOT hypopatriotic people but are being insulted here.

    First of all, do you really think they participated in this just cuz they hate japanese people...I'd say 50% of them was just curious in this. Yes yes it was irrational and immature but peer pressure can be one of the reason why so many ppl joined this particular..'incident'.

    That's not so important. but This is important. It was not just about Yuna Kim, who performed extraordinarily well and (let's admit this)nobody can catch her for now. Somebody will break her record but not so soon..anyway back to the main point..I went to 2ch(translated version)and saw some japanese comments about the Russian incident(a group of Russians beat up a/some Korean student/s to death) :
    "Go Russians!", "Well done for beating up the chosen-jin(korean) dawg" "we should give the russians a medal." "Yay japan, Fuck korea"

    I MEAN A PERSON DIED for crying out loud.

    If anyone commented about a Canadian beaten up to death by some group of people like those up above, I would have gotten upset too. If a Japanese student was beaten up in some other country, I also would have shown grief and would have been very disturbed.

    I'm saying this because I can't say anything to those who criticize us koreans' irrational action, but I certainly don't agree with those ones who just randomly comment that koreans are stupid, are overly proud of Yuna Kim, are all rude and all hate japanese as I can read above. Such comments just make you ppl as immature as the cyber terrorists.

    Cuz many of us don't. Not all of us hate japanese; it was a certain group koreans' hatred towards a certain group of japanese, and they WERE rude.

    Maybe the koreans intended this as a joke, like some /b/tards similarly do?

    Just a question but can anyone in Australia see this article legally? She's 19 but has got to be an A cup so wouldn't this count as virtual Child pornography?

    that is stupidest thing i have ever heard
    what makes u think Koreans will agree without a war?
    u do know that japanese military is close to zero
    and if South and North Korea combines their military power, taking over japan is easier than breathing

    Random, but as an American, I'm pretty fed up with the US government sticking their noses in other countries' affairs.

    We got other crap to deal with.

    i dont know if this helps, but there was a lot of koreans bashing mao asada for acting up on the podium. That probably brought a backlash from some japanese or idunno.

    lol, this particular attack may be in the big picture of anti japanese sentiment, but in particular, it was the olympics...or atleast claimed insults of Kim Yu-na.

    Amateur and professional sportsmen do NOT go emotional over Hooliganism. Here's a depressing truth, hooliganism is absolutely everywhere in sports.

    4chan has a huge increase of 2ch trolls after her gold medal for several days, Japanese uber-nationalist TV station talking bad about Korea right on the March 1st remembrance day (national holiday of Korea).

    I usually criticize Korea for nationalism. I don't care if you mod me down, however for this time, I will criticize Japan.

    Well, actually, no koreans care 2ch saying stuff about Kim Yu Na stuff. Because they are mostly pathetic excuses of a loser. Koreans who care are most likely fanatic fans of Kim Yu Na, which not all Koreans are, including myself.

    The Cyber terrorism started to get formulated way before the Kim Yu-Na stuff (I think even before the olympics started). There was an occurrence in Russia that Korean students were killed by some racist Russians, and 2ch people ridiculed it by saying stuff like, "Russians did good stuff by taking care of trash of the world."

    So this pissed off Koreans, and as a result, DC community (which is similar to 2ch community in japan. Studpid, irrational, and again, stupid) made a community site and advertised their attack on 2ch, way before Olympics.

    Of course, this real cause doesn't justify what the stupid morons did. But try to convey different sides of story in next writings.

    Can you post a source?
    I'm Japanese and use 2ch every day, but haven't seen any talk related to that.
    Well, I'm not really doubting the legitimacy of your claim but rather how much the korean idiots made much too big a deal out of the comments by the japanese idiots.

    Comment by Artefact

    I never saw anything like that either. Nor about Yu-Na. In fact it all seemed to be about that Japanese snowboarder...
