Hacking organization “Anonymous” has released a new video press release via You Tube in which the group claims to be extracting internal documents from North Korea’s “intranet and private networks” and announces plans to release them.
Uploaded on June 17th, the video release declares, “We Are Anonymous. Previously we said we would penetrate the intranet and private networks of North Korea. And we were successful,” before going on, “We have a Memorandum of June 25 to indicating (sic) our strength. Oh good people of North Korea, it is time to wake up. Soon you will experience a new culture, and your worthless leadership will be recognised by everyone. Come and join us!”
The release specifically notes the breakdown of recent talks with South Korea as an instigating factor, noting, “You cannot destroy ideas with missiles. You end talks by placing the blame on the Republic of Korea. And the price of your error will be costly and placed upon you.”
In April this year, Anonymous obtained and made public a list of members of the North Korean-run propaganda website targeting South Korea, “Uriminzzokiri,” inciting a police investigation into those on the list. At a similar time, the group asserted via Twitter that it plans to attack the North Korean intranet system “Gwangmyong” on June 25th.
