18 Year Old Boy Just Hacked North Korea Using The Most Hilarious Password Ever by Yungkida(m): 4:49pm On Jun 02, 2016
I just still can't hack anything in this life, and i call myself a social media/tech savvy... *Sobs*

According to Fox News, an 18-year-old British teen named Andrew McKean just admitted to hacking a North Korean social network that looks identical to Facebook. You'll actually mistake it for Facebook.

Motherboard first reported on the Facebook clone launching in North Korea on May 27.

Just a few days later, McKean was able to access the platform by visiting the site, simply clicking the admin link at the bottom of the page, then entering the word “password” within the password field and “admin” within the username field.

Boom. Just like that, he was in!

McKean then proceeded to update the site’s sponsored post field with a message that read,

Uh, I didn’t create this site, just found the login…

As of Wednesday, the site has been taken offline.

This is a warning to everyone (Social media savvy, Tech Gurus, SEO Experts, etc.) : Change your passwords frequently.

lol...most people use that. passwords can really be a burden to remember.

i prefer using "incorrect" so that when i type in the wrong password, it will tell me, "your password is incorrect "
