What would be the point in blocking them? They don't even have
electricity in the country, what would I worry about coming out
of their IP block that wouldn't be more interesting than dangerous.
Pretty obvious if it was really them behind the Sony hack, it
was outsourced.

For the few elite that do have Internet in DPRK it would be 1) a big
inconvenience which would annoy them a lot and 2) they have to transmit
what they want attacked to the outsourced crew (whoever they might be)
somehow.  I doubt the outsourced group has a fax#.

I am pretty sure that they have fax machines in Washington Dee Cee.
