Allowing people unfettered access to outside news sources compromises the efficacy of your propaganda.

Whether its an attack or not, given North Koreas isolation, its hard to know how disruptive an Internet outage might be to its society. Last year the magazine Foreign Policy sought to count how many people might have access to it, and estimates ranged from a few dozen, to about 1,000 people on the outside. Most are believed to be members of Kims inner circle or foreigners. For others, theres a strictly controlled domestic intranet that looks nothing like the Internet were accustomed to.
