Anonymous hacktivist have announced an leak of data that comes from a very well known Propaganda website known as Uriminzokkiri (https://uriminzokkiri.com). The website, which is hosted in china has become the target of hackers in the past with social media accounts being hacked in 2011 and now anonymous hacktivists have made a claim that they have breached the system for the site as well as other sites which have been unnamed. The breach is said to result in over 15,000 personal account details being obtained with a example release leak being added to the announcement that was posted to pastehtml and announced over twitter by @VietMinhVC on the 1st of april and that account that appears to be fairly new and the announcement is its first post. > North Korea’s propaganda site hacked, leaked. Press release: htmlpaste.com/a632c09068de1a… cc @youranonnews @anonsj #opNorthKorea — Cyber Vietcong (@VietMinhVC) March 31, 2013
Another anonymous account later in the day has announced that they are "inside your mail servers, local intranets and webservers". > Kim John-Ung, we be inside your mail servers, local intranets, and webservers. The exposure is here: htmlpaste.com/a632c09068de1a… #anonymous :D/ — Anonymous (@AnonymousOpsIRC) April 2, 2013
The example leak data contains 6 account details with email addresses, usernames and encrypted passwords which appear to of been cracked due to them being a really simple combo of "loveme" or "123456". How real this data actually is can be up for debate but the announcement in the data leak contains the following message.
