Yeah, the "Traditional Korean" bullshit totally destroys the article's credibility. What's the alternative? Simplified Korean? Somebody's confusing Korean with Chinese here.
The author also suggests that North Korean material is likely to contain Chinese; this is also bullshit. As part of its ultra-nationalistic ideology, North Korea has been trying for decades to purge their language of loan words, including Chinese. On the other hand, (Traditional) Chinese letters are routinely found in many South Korean publications even nowadays.
Besides, no modern operating system even supports the ko_KP locale, so anyone in Pyongyang who wants to use foreign-made programs will have to resort to ko_KR. For all we know, the hacker could have been a South Korean teenager with Japanese citizenship living in Hong Kong or whatever.
