This more or less reflects my stance on SK too. I ran a reasonably large APAC/SEA esports-related site for a while, competing sites in SK often attempted to attack it (and outright told me as such, to get out of korea). It's strange and I really have no idea why.


We had a 9Gbps attack from SK earlier in the year. I have no idea why we were targeted, but my best guess is that a user in SK got upset at some user-generated content and decided to DDoS the site rather than report it to us. Weird.

Anyway, we decided to move to OVH, and haven't had any problem since. We did get an email about an attack being mitigated a few months ago (which didn't cause any outage at all), and since then the trolls have realised that we can't be DDoSed any more :)
