North Korea's news website, Twitter account hacked

Hackers apparently broke into at least two of North Korea’s government-run online sites on April 4, 2013. 

The North’s Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts stopped sending out content typical of that posted by the regime in Pyongyang, such as photos of North’s leader Kim Jong Un meeting with military officials. 

Instead, a picture posted on the North’s Flickr site shows Kim’s face with a pig-like snout and a drawing of Mickey Mouse on his chest. Underneath, the text reads: “Threatening world peace with ICBMs and Nuclear weapons/Wasting money while his people starve to death.” 

Tensions have been high in recent days between North and South Korea, and the North’s military warned Thursday that it had been authorized to attack the US. North Korea is angry about sanctions against its nuclear program and joint military drills between the U.S. and South Korea. 

North and South have fired claims of cyber attacks at each other recently. Last month computers froze at six major South Korean companies, three banks and three television networks.
