So North Korea's Twitter handle (@uriminzok) was hacked today by the hacker group, Anonymous. This led to several questions.
1. Who are they tweeting to?
I thought the residents of North Korea didn't have access to the internet, much less Twitter and other social channels. Nevertheless, they have close to 15K followers as of this morning.
2. What are they tweeting?
I used Chrome's built-in translation feature and according to that, it's mostly stuff about how the US and South Korea are puppets and that we shouldn't take North Korea lightly.
3. Who is Jimmy Dushku?
A quick look at the basic stats provided to us (6,007 tweets...3 following...14,973 followers) is not surprising at first. But if you click through to see who the account is following, you get 2 Korean handles and @JimmyDushku...the hell?
Screenshots of his Twitter handle and a tweet he sent to North Korea can be found below.
So forget questions 1 and 2. Who is Jimmy Dushku and why is North Korea following him of all people? Is he a member of Anonymous? a not-so-discreet North Korean spy? According to his tweets, even Jimmy is baffled as to why North Korea is interested in him.
BUT @JimmyDushku, if you have any pull, please tell North Korea to chill out with the nuclear shit! :)
