Anonymous launches new assault on N. Korean websites

Hacktivist collective Anonymous claimed it has launched another major assault on North Korean websites as part of ‘Operation Free Korea.’ Central news and information site Uriminzokkiri.com has been taken offline, while photoshopped images of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have been placed on three other hacked sites: English language news sites minjok.com, jajusasang.com and paekdu-hanna.com.

The Twitter and Flickr accounts of North Korea’s central news agencies were hacked earlier this month, after Pyongyang announced it was on a war footing towards its southern neighbor.

At the end of March, the group took down five of North Korea's official websites, including its official Web portal and the site of the country’s foreign relations committee.
