United Kingdom-based cybersecurity expert Junade Ali explained that during the incident's peak, all inbound and outbound traffic to the hermit kingdom stopped.
"When someone would try to connect to an IP address in North Korea, the internet would literally be unable to route their data into the country," the researcher said, according to Reuters.
Internet use is extremely limited in North Korea, and it remains unknown exactly how many of the country's citizens can access it.
Ali believes that the outage was caused by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, an incident where hackers maliciously overload a network's server traffic.
