Subject: hackers take down Japanese 2channel, largest Internet forum

For IP

I am not seeing this story in the English-language media yet: hackers, supposedly based in Korea and fed up with 
numerous threads on the Japanese-language 2ch.net (the world's largest and most raucous net forum, served from 
Singapore) *asserting* that Kim Yuna won the gold as a result of judging collusion, have taken the site down and kept 
it down for three days (and counting).

Apparently, Korean websites were actively recruiting hacking talent for the attack.
