N. Korea sites plastered with pig-faced Kim Jong Un dressed in Disney gear

Hacktivists overtook several of North Korea's online accounts, “posting a photo of leader Kim Jong Un as a pig with ears, a snout and Mickey Mouse emblazoned on his abdomen.”
The hacker collective Anonymous claimed responsibility.
A pro-government site was defaced -- and the unflattering cartoon of Kim was posted. Pyongyang’s Twitter account showed a photo of two tango dancers wearing Guy Fawkes masks, signatures of Anonymous hackers. The nation state’s Flickr account also was vandalized.
