Two Korean expatriates who are registered as members of North Korean propaganda website Uriminzokkiri were found to have conducted pro-North Korean campaigns, according to news reports Tuesday.

International hacking group Anonymous disclosed the information of 15,000 members of Uriminzokkiri, including 2,600 presumed to be South Korean nationals, after it hacked the website last week.

One person surnamed Kim who went to the U.S. in 1990 is thought to have operated a pro-North Korean website and visited the reclusive state twice a year since 1997.

Another suspect surnamed Lim, who lives in Sweden has also run pro-North Korea operations on a similar website, allegedly put up posts praising the success of North Korea’s third nuclear experiment in February and instigating people to join anti-U.S. movements.
