Newtalk新聞 北韓領導人金正恩近日傳出因嚴重腦出血「重病死亡」，隨後朝鮮官方網站接連兩天遭遇大範圍斷網，引發關注。對此，南韓國家情報院（國情院）23日在國會情報委員會接受質詢時針對金正恩「死訊」闢謠，強調相關傳聞並非事實，證實這波消息純屬謠言。 根據韓聯社與中央日報報導，包含勞動新聞及朝中社在內約 42 個使用「.kp」域名的官方機構網站自20日上午11點開始出現長時間無法存取或連線極度不穩的情況，期間雖然曾經短暫恢復，但在後續的24小時內有長達19小時無法訪問，癱瘓狀況持續至21日。 國際網路監測機構Kentik與NetBlocks隨後發布技術分析指出，朝鮮對外網路出現大規模路由中斷與封包異常；不過韓國政府表示尚未確認是否遭駭，韓國網路專家則認為，朝鮮國際網路高度仰賴經由中國聯通與香港先鋒國際（Cenbong）的「柳京洞」單線路，加上國內電力長期不穩導致邊境設備重啟，均可能引發大規模斷網。 朝鮮官媒朝中社於20日發布金正恩前一日視察平壤服裝與鞋類展覽的新聞照片，畫面中他由夫人李雪主及女兒金主愛陪同，意圖以此打破謠言。不過，由於該篇報導發布當天正好碰上官方網站全面斷線，導致外部無法即時驗證訊息，反而加深外界質疑，網路上瘋傳「出面者為替身」或「官媒使用舊圖掩飾」等陰謀論，將斷網事件與權力交接的政治操作進行聯想。 對此，南韓國情院23日向國會情報委員會進行非公開報告直指「金正恩身亡消息為假消息」，並對相關傳聞作出澄清。韓國外交國安團隊也表示，雖然朝鮮官網大規模癱瘓確實罕見，但歷史上如2013年及2014年朝鮮亦曾因外部駭客攻擊或技術故障導致網路長時間中斷。目前韓國政府正密切監控朝鮮軍方與高層的人事動態，確認其內部運作並無異常。 國情院當天也針對金正恩胞妹、北韓勞動黨中央委員會部長金與正近期視察邊境要塞化工程一事進行說明。據與會人士轉述，國情院強調，單憑金與正此次視察活動，尚不足以判斷她在北韓政權內部的政治地位是否出現變化，因此無法據此推論北韓高層權力結構有所調整。延伸閱讀：第四次川金會何時登場？ 美韓官員曝：今年成行機率很低金正恩又傳病逝！BBC揭死訊瘋傳兩大原因川普再提對伊朗動武推升油價！ 美股道瓊下殺652點、台積電ADR漲1.49%快訊》大雨猛灌！15縣市發布特報 氣象署：防坍方積水快訊》暴雨狂炸！16縣市發布特報 氣象署：防坍方積水
