It would be easy to put a name out there, then redact it and pretend it was a real source. That it is hidden makes it hard to track even if you managed to get a copy of it when they were displaying the name, and investigating if they really exists becomes hard to do because it is easy to paint the investigator as someone not being ethical, putting the sources life at risk, and perhaps even an agent of NK seeking to harm the source.
