Anonymous is back in the news today for hacking into the North Korean web site Uriminzokkiri.com. The team has announced in a message that it has hacked into the service and acquired all the details of the registered users. How to believe this claim? Well, to prove that they have access to all the data, the team has provided details of six of the registered members publicly, and the published details show the email addresses, user names, birth dates, and hashed passwords.
“Enjoy these few records as a proof of our access to your systems (random innocent citizens, collateral damage, because they were stupid enough to choose idiot passwords), we got all over 15k membership records of www.uriminzokkiri.com and many more. First we gonna wipe your data, then we gonna wipe your badass dictatorship “government”.”
Out of these six accounts which have been made public, three are supposed to be Chinese accounts. The message continues, “North Korean government is increasingly becoming a threat to peace and freedom. We demand: – N.K. government to stop making nukes and nuke-threats, uncensored internet access for all the citizens and Kim Jong-un to resign”
Out of the six accounts, four accounts have Chinese email addresses and one is a Hotmail account. And another account is South Korean and is believed to belong to KEPCO KDN, a smart-gird systems provider that’s part of the Korea Electric Power Co.
“Don’t fear us, we are not terrorist, we are the good guys from the internet. AnonKorea and all the other Anons are here to set you free. We are Anonymous We are Legion We do not forgive We do not forget Expect us!” message read.
Did you have an account with uriminzokkiri.com? If you did, there is almost a 100 per cent chance that your account is hacked. But anyway, what are your thoughts on this hack by Anonymous?
