The hactivist group Anonymous has taken on North Korea, hacking into the country’s official Twitter and Flickr accounts on Wednesday. It reportedly sent out tweets ridiculing the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, and used its Flickr account to portray him in an unflattering light, to put it mildly. It appears that North Korea has regained control of its social media channels since the hack. In an online post, Anonymous cites North Korea’s increasing threat to peace and freedom as the reason for its attacks, demanding that it stop making nukes and nuke-threats, among other things.
