News South Koreans Users of Propaganda Website Risk PunishmentUsers could be in violation of archaic South Korean anti-communist law SEOUL – Records released by hackers show that over 2000 South Koreans are subscribed to North Korean propaganda website Uriminzokkiri, and are now thought to be at risk of punishment under South Korea's archaic National Security Act if found guilty of engaging in subversive "anti-South Korean" activities. The hacker group Anonymous Korea made the details available in three parts (1, 2, 3), causing South Korean news agency Yonhap to speculate whether or not South Koreans found subscribing to the North Korean propaganda website were in infringement of the law. © Korea Risk Group.
