Members of the Anonymous hacktivist collective claim to have hacked several prominent North Korean websites for a second time in less than two weeks as part of the group’s Operation Free Korea.
Just over a week ago, the group claimed to have launched its first strikes days after it threatened North Korea with cyber war if the country’s leader Kim Jong-un did not resign and install democracy.
Anonymous is also demanding that North Korea abandon its nuclear ambitions and give universal and uncensored internet access to its citizens.
North Korea’s government-run @Uriminzok Twitter account has remained in the hacktivist group’s control since 4 April, and a fresh series of messages claim that four North Korean websites, including news site Uriminzokkiri.com, have been hacked or taken offline, according to US reports.
