    Thats the equivalent of a “preemptive peacekeeping” mission. I’d have thought we’d see the UK be the first to something along these lines. 🙄

    The police believe that the motive behind this hacking was to reduce network-related costs, as torrent transfers can be costly for internet service providers. KT, however, claims that it was merely trying to manage traffic on its network to ensure a smooth user experience.

    Sounds like they admit it but object to the negative tone lol
