KT , formerly known as Korea Telecom , allegedly distributed malware onto subscribers' computers to interfere with and block torrent traffic.

KT , one of South Korea’s largest ISPs with over 16 million subscribers, was previously caught meddling with the Grid System .

Internet providers would rather not have this file-sharing activity on their networks.

KT maintains that it merely intended to manage traffic on its network, presumably to keep everything running smoothly.
