Korean Internet Users Launch Hacking Attacks on Ogrish.com
Korean Internet users have launched "Hacking of Fury" attacks on a website, Ogrish.com, which is trying to obtain and spread the video of Kim Sun-il¡¯s decapitation. This site posted the unabridged video of Nicholas Berg¡¯s beheading in May. The site enraged Korean Internet users by posting an advertisement looking for video of Kim's decapitation when Kim was kidnapped.

The site is posting a message on its main page that Kim has been decapitated and is asking people to send in videos or photos of Kim¡¯s decapitation if they have them. In regards to this message, Korean Internet users have gone on collective hacking attacks on the website, saying, ¡°We will punish a shameless website that is trying to commercialize the death of a man.¡±

Korean Internet users have posted ways to hack into Ogrish.com on various Korean websites like DC and are making all-out efforts to bring the website down. An Internet user resentfully suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s hack in to hang a Korean flag on the site... Spreading a video of the beheading is to ridicule the death of Kim Sun-il.¡± Korean Internet users have voiced concerns that a video of the beheading may be circulated around the world and this would be tantamount to killing Kim twice. Korean Internet users said, ¡°Let¡¯s join hands together to prevent the circulation of the video of Kim Sun-il who was killed undeservedly.¡±
