The Flickr account, once found at flickr.com/uriminzokkiri, was used to distribute news photographs and propaganda around the web and around the World. After breaking into it, Anonymous uploaded a number of images poking fun at North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

The US government should encourage more hacking into North Korean government websites, with the purpose of creating distrust, dissidence, and other psychological warfare directed at the paranoids within the inner circle.

I seem to remember that years ago, this paranoia resulted in North Korean Army units actually waging warfare on themselves to prove their “loyality” to the Kim Jung Il regime.
