“Web sites of major South Korean government agencies, banks and Internet sites also were paralyzed in a suspected cyber attack Tuesday.

DDoS does not equal a firesale as in die hard. Doing what they do in live free or die hard would take a lot more work than they led to believe. The movie made it seem like everything was connected to the same network. Lol. ---
