It's possibly _also_ a political swipe, but I fail to see how it's false - North Korea has certainly acted poorly (e.g. the kidnap of thousands).
I'll agree that leaving a misleading digital trail is, relatively speaking, easy, but that doesn't mean it's false either - it is entirely fitting with how NK is known to operate.

The false statement is not that NK is acting badly, but that they are largely unchecked. The U.S. maintains a large military presence and major alliance in S. Korea for the purpose of checking NK. They arm SK and Japan and train with them, specifically to check NK. They pass end enforce domestic and international sanctions, intercept NK ships, spy on NK, and infiltrate and sabotage NK's military programs. The claim that NK is largely unchecked is absurd.
