IntelX reported that North Korea’s AS131279 gained a third internet uplink on 3 April 2019 through AS133073, Teleglobal Communication Services Limited, adding to existing routes through China Unicom and Russia’s TransTeleCom. The added path increased North Korea’s routing flexibility and resilience against failures or DDoS pressure, although the physical connection point was not confirmed despite Hong Kong registration data. The source highlights this as a notable change in North Korean national connectivity rather than a malware incident, with APNIC whois data and historical AS131279 uplink dates providing the key evidence.
