Hacker Hijacks North Korean Radio Station, Plays ‘The Final Countdown’

[SentientToilet]

[QUOTE]An unknown hacker has allegedly hijacked North Korean short-wave radio station, 6400kHz, and is broadcasting the 1986 hit song from ’80s Swedish rock band Europe, “The Final Countdown.”

News of the incident was posted on Twitter by vigilante hacker, “The Jester,” who has in the past gained fame by hacking jihadist websites, and who in October 2016 defaced the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the message, “Stop attacking Americans.”

Probably wondering why a song in a foreign language is on the radio

I frequent a [url=http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/]fairly popular WebSDR[/url] and I actually caught the tail end of this live after people were talking about it in the chat box.

It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.

Anyone else reminded of the infamous "Max Headroom" TV hijacking? I'd rather target TV than radio, would be a bit funnier.

It is a lot harder to hijack a TV station.

Given the target audience, I imagine more N Koreans have a radio than a TV.

They should try playing this if they get the chance.

I think you're slightly overestimating how isolated North Korea is

This isn't Shyamalan's The Village
