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

    That is the most corporate response

    Korea lost net neutrality a few years ago sadly.

    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. 🙄

      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.
