국제 해커그룹 ‘어나니머스(Anonymous)’가 최근 북한 인터넷망에 침투했으며 미사일, 군 관련 문서에 대한 정보를 확보했다고 주장했다.
어나니머스는 지난 17일 유튜브에 올린 동영상을 통해 “우리는 전에 당신들의 인트라넷에 침투한다고 말했다. 그리고 우리는 성공했다”며 “북한의 주요 미사일 문서와 주민문서, 군 관련 문서는 이미 훤히 내려다 보인다”고 밝혔다.
어나니머스는 이어 이 정보 중 일부를 공개하겠다고 밝혔다. 정보 공개의 구체적인 날짜는 밝혀지지 않았지만 어나니머스는 영상을 통해 6월 25일에 “힘을 과시하겠다”라고 말했다.
어나니머스는 자신들이 세계평화와 대한민국을 위해 이러한 공격을 하고 있다고 주장하면서 김정은에게 권력을 내놓을 것을 촉구했다.
어나니머스는 지난 4월 트위터를 통해 오는 25일 북한 내부 인터넷망을 공격하겠다고 예고한 바 있다.
당시 어나니머스는 북한 내부 인터넷망 ‘광명’에 일명 ‘닌자 게이트웨이’를 구축해 외부인들과 북한 주민들이 인터넷망을 자유롭게 사용할 수 있게 하겠다고 밝혔다. (코리아헤럴드)

Anonymous says ready to release N.K. missile data
By Yoon Min-sik
An international hacking group has said it has gained access to North Korea’s IT networks and will soon reveal information on its military and weapons programs.
The hackers said they would “indicate our strength” Tuesday, which marks the 63rd anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War.
Anonymous claimed that it had successfully penetrated the intranet and private networks of the communist state.
“We were successful,” the activist group said in a statement released on YouTube, adding that it obtained “major missile documentation and residents, military documents.”
“We are partially sharing this information with the world,” it warned confirming its previous promise to launch a major online attack on the “tyrants” of the North on June 25.
The statement was posted on Monday by a group claiming to be Anonymous Operation North Korea.
In early April, the hacktivists carried out hacking attacks against several North Korean websites including main propaganda outlet Uriminzokkiri.
It released a list of some 9,000 subscribers to the North Korean site including around 2,000 who used South Korea-based email addresses.
The hacking group claimed they “work toward world peace and for the Republic of Korea.”
Later in the month, a member of the group said via Twitter that its local branch, Anonymous Korea, was aiming to hack into the North’s Kwangmyong national intranet on June 25.
The unnamed hacker said the group would install a so-called Ninja Gateway which will give outsiders and North Koreans unrestricted access to the country’s intranet, which is cut off from the World Wide Web.
Its members told a South Korean news outlet earlier this month that Anonymous has already broken into North Korean systems and obtained information on its missiles and high-ranking officials.
The group will make parts of the data public to show their capability, and hand over the rest to other activist organizations such as WikiLeaks, they said.
