An army of Korean netizens apparently attacked the Japanese Internet forum 2ch for their anti-Korean postings, including those targeting Korea's Olympic gold-medal-winning figure skater Kim Yu-na, causing the site to shut down on Monday.
The attacks began at 1 p.m. on Monday, Korea's Independence Day, which marked Korea's movement against Japanese colonial rule 91 years ago.
Login attempts were unsuccessful in the afternoon.
About 30 out of 33 posting boards were paralyzed by 1:30 p.m.
Online security officials estimated that more than 10,000 Korean netizens participated in hacking into the site.
The attacks were triggered by comments praising Russians for the killing of a Korean student in Moscow.
Some postings claimed that the killing was not racially motivated and Russians were doing "good deeds" after the event occurred.
2ch saw postings claiming that Kim Yu-na won the gold medal in the Vancouver Olympics thanks to judges bribed by Korea. Such anti-Yu-na comments increased when Japan's Mao Asada lost to Kim and had to settle for a silver medal.

Date: 2010-03-02 12:14 am (UTC)But honestly, I feel like Mao Asada would've won gold if she didn't mess up those two little times. But bribing the judges? Lollllll, you'd be disqualified~ Who came up with that crazy rumour?

Jeez.
And, while I certainly don't condone the hacking, horrible commments like that deserve to be dealt with. At the very least, the Mods of the community should have shut them down. Talk like that is disgusting.

Date: 2010-03-02 12:34 am (UTC)^This is the root of it all. Not Yu-na vs Mao, not a couple of comments made by 2ch members.
Anyway, keep it up S. Korea and Japan... *rolls eyes

Date: 2010-03-02 12:47 am (UTC)but then i hate how stuff like this generalises the two countries and makes them both look bad. not all koreans/japanese are out for blood. just the idiot ones.
