Anonymous has infiltrated Kwangmyong, the country-wide intranet of North Korea, claiming the “North Korean government is increasingly becoming a threat to peace and freedom,” and threatening North Korea by saying "First we gonna wipe your data, then we gonna wipe your ... dictatorship ‘government.’"
In a Pastebin release dated April 2, hacktivists affiliated with the international collective known as Anonymous announced they had gained access to local intranets, mail servers and web servers located in North Korea. In addition, the hacktivists claimed to have liberated 15,000 individual user records, including hashed passwords, attached to the North Korean propaganda website Uriminzokkiri. Uriminzokkiri is a website that provides Korean language news and propaganda from North Korea's central news agency.
In the Pastebin release Anonymous issues several demands:
- N.K. government to stop making nukes and nuke-threats
- Kim Jong-un to resign
- it's time to install a free direct democracy in North Korea
- uncensored internet access for all the citizens
In another Pastebin release , issued April 3, Anonymous explains how they gained access to Kwangmyong, the country-wide intranet of North Korea:
We have a few guys on the ground who managed to bring the real internet into the country using a chain of long distance WiFi repeaters with proprietary frequencies, so they're not jammed (yet). We also have access to some N.K. phone landlines which are connected to Kwangmyong through dial-ups. Last missing peace of puzzle was to interconnect the two networks, which those guys finally managed to do.
Also on Wednesday, April 3, in an alarming development, North Korea announced that it had authorized plans for the military to conduct nuclear strikes against targets in the U.S.
