Sony Hack: North Korea Back Online After Internet Outage

Internet services have been restored back in North Korea after an
almost unprecedented internet outage following a cyber security row
with the United States. BBCreports:

Though there has been no comment from the authorities in Pyongyang,
South Korean officials and US experts reported the restoration.

Some analysts say the country's web access was cut entirely for a time.

China meanwhile has denounced reports suggesting it was responsible
for the North Korean online shutdown.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that such reports were
"speculative" and had "no basis in reality".

"These reports themselves are extremely irresponsible, unprofessional
and misleading," she added.

China's permanent representative to the United Nations has called for
all sides to avoid an escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula
after the UN Security Council put the North's human rights record on
its agenda.
