[HIB]Korean cyberattacks get away with 1,715 military secrets

War plans against North Korea and other military secrets - 1,715 in total - were lost after computers belonging to around a dozen soldiers were hacked between January and March, according to military data disclosed by a lawmaker yesterday. The military assumes the attacks were carried out by a single group for military purposes and is investigating whether North Korea was involved. Song Young-sun, a lawmaker with the Future Hope Alliance and a member of the National Assembly’s National Defense Committee, requested the data showing that the attacks targeted military information. The Defense Ministry and the Defense Security Command surrendered the information to Song. The JoongAng Ilbo is the first news organization to report the hacking, which the military acknowledged is the biggest leak since it established a cybersecurity center in December 2005 in a bid to combat military cyberattacks.
