Facebook Clone; after Scottish security researcher Andrew McKean found the admins forgot to alter its default qualifications during the weekend, the website was taken down.
The Facebook clone of North Korea was running on phpDolphin
Since the portal site was running on phpDolphin, a self-hosted system for building social networks, McKean attempted the system’s default certificate, which allowed him access to the admin panel and worked.

The researcher did not remain idle and started shooting screenshots, which he shared on social media and with reporters, and additionally began changing the site’s advertising, writing in one of them, “Uh, I did not create this website only located the login.. @ mckeany_”

McKean and Dyn both asserted there is no real evidence to support the theory this is the work of the North Korean government.

Dyn did say the website’s IP address is hosted in a nation with quite hard-and-fast Internet access rules, North Korea more stringent domain registration policies, and quite few suitable Web hosting systems outside authorities facilities.

During its brief lifespan, the website had lots of placeholder text shown in many of its sections. Screenshots shot by McKean show little to no action. All these lead to the clear decision the website was still in development, and not quite yet a full blown “Facebook clone.”
