An imitation of Facebook set up for North Koreans has already been hacked, just days after it was launched.
Andrew McKean, aged 18, from the United Kingdom, gained access after discovering the login and password were set to ‘admin’ and ‘password.’
The student was then able to take complete control of the page and changed the advertising boxes to; ‘Uh, I didn’t create this site just found the login.’
He also had the ability to delete users, change the site’s name and see everyone’s email.
He contemplated redirecting the page to an anti-North Korean website.
The site described itself as the ‘best Korea’s Social Network.’
McKean said he tried to hack into the site after reading an article about the site last week about the created account on the Facebook clone.
He said: ‘It was easy enough. I don’t know why, but I just wanted to check if it worked.
‘After all, this Facebook clone site was new and not much had been done to it.’
The website remains offline.
This comes as North Korea suffered another failure in its attempt to fire a ballistic missile after its weapon exploded on the launch.
