    merely trying to manage traffic on its network to ensure a smooth user experience

    That is the most corporate response

    Thats the equivalent of a “preemptive peacekeeping” mission. I’d have thought we’d see the UK be the first to something along these lines. 🙄

        The only thing the Sith did wrong was not hire a queer person for their uniforms / outfits.

          I don’t think Disney needs more gay characters than they already have, they have ruined plenty of universes already including Star Wars. They don’t have to ruin it more.

      Skimming the article, it appears they attacked a particular client that is popular in Korea.

      Mitm a website and inject browser exploits? Scanning IP addresses they see downloading? A news article leaving out the vital parts is nothing new though m

      Maybe they were just targeting with no actual action. Like they had their sights set on their cardboard tank.

    The police believe that the motive behind this hacking was to reduce network-related costs, as torrent transfers can be costly for internet service providers. KT, however, claims that it was merely trying to manage traffic on its network to ensure a smooth user experience.

    Sounds like they admit it but object to the negative tone lol

      If a worker said this they would be accused of being lazy.

      What are people paying for then ? To not use their internet connection ? Selling internet is the most lucrative business ever so no it doesn’t cost you more than you receive.
