Hackers have apparently disrupted North Korea's government-run Twitter account. The disruption comes at a time of rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The North's Uriminzokkiri's Twitter account on Thursday displayed four tweets saying 'hacked.' A fifth tweet said 'Tango Down' and was followed by a link to Uriminzokkiri's Flickr page.

North Korea opened its Uriminzokkiri Twitter account in 2010 to use the social media to praise its system and leaders.
