Anonymous 'stole 15,000 passwords' from North Korean website Anonymous: We've hacked 15,000 passwords Hacker group threatens all-out cyber war 'We gonna wipe your badass dictatorship' HACKER group Anyonmous claims it has stolen 15,000 passwords from one of North Korea's top websites. A note has called for Kim Jong-un to stand down, as the North Korean leader continues to threaten missile strikes against the US. Anonymous's claims, which are yet to be verified, threaten a kind of cyber-war against North Korea, with the password hack on the website, Uriminzokkiri.com, just the beginning. The note, written in English, says the hacker group has access to intranets, mail servers and web servers, The Next Web reports. The group further claims to have started the Operation Free Korea movement, urging the country to sack its leader and install a democracy. "We got all over 15k membership records of Uriminzokkiri.com and many more," the note reads. "First we gonna wipe your data, then we gonna wipe your badass dictatorship 'government'."
