The hacker group Anonymous (or someone posing as Anonymous) hacked into North Korea’s Flickr site today. They posted a photo showing Kim Jong Un’s face with a pig snout, and with a Mickey Mouse drawing on his chest. Text read: “Threatening world peace with ICBMs and Nuclear weapons/Wasting money while his people starve to death.”

They also broke into the official North Korea Twitter account, and posted tweets and links which mocked Kim Jong Un.

And, they took down the North Korean news and information website at Uriminzokkiri.com (which is currently offline).

Bravo!

(The unflattering photo does not bolster The Onion’s naming of Kim as the 2012 Sexiest Man Alive, an award North Koreans apparently took seriously.)

Anonymous claimed to have “a few guys on the ground” in North Korea who used a chain of wifi repeaters to bring the uncensored internet into the country. They also claimed to use landlines to access the national Intranet.

The Exalted Leader is a bit prickly. Whoever’s in charge of his Twitter and Flickr accounts might be moving to a gulag. And maybe he’ll consider the hacking an act of war and start launching his ICBMs (which, after flying 50 miles or so, flame out and fall impotently to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean).
