The English TV channel "CHANNEL 4" had to suspend the broadcasting of a political thriller set in North Korea after being hit by violent cyber attacks.
The new British television program, a series in 10 bets, titled Opposite Number, was designed to perceive the plots organized by North Korea to assert its policy.
The series told the story of a British nuclear scientist who, on a secret mission in North Korea, was kidnapped in Pyongyang, triggering an international crisis “.
North Korea has labeled the series "a scandalous farce," reports The New York Times.
The newspaper claims that hackers have violated the Channel 4 computer system to protect the good reputation of North Korea and its leader Kim Jong-un.
Channel 4 made it clear that the hacker attack was stopped in time, before it could cause major cyber damage.
The case, however, has shaken both the editorial team of Channel 4 and Opposite Number producers, so far as to suspend the transmission of the new program series.
"Channel 4" has refused to comment and give more information on the issues arising out of the company's violation.
Political and military tensions in the Asian area between the US and North Korea have reached very high levels, following the ongoing North Korean missile tests accompanied by little diplomatic insults (Rocketman / Dotard) between the two leaders of the nations involved: this has greatly reduced the space for negotiating solutions for nuclear power in North Korea.
Moreover, a United Nations ambassador not identified by the newspaper, seems to have stated that "nuclear war could break out at any moment": this very serious statement in its essence seems to be in contrast with what Macron said last September 25 at "The New York Time ”to Roger Cohen: Trump gets himself in“ deadlock ”ie in a closed alley.
