North Korea is believed to be the culprit
behind recent data leaks from South Korea′s
nuclear power plants.
Last year, a group of hackers leaked documents
about the facilities, including blueprints,...
and last week, they released additional files
and demanded money in return for not selling
the information to other countries.
An interim probe found that the incidents
were "aimed at inciting social unrest."
Investigators added that the leaked data was
not critical information, and that it was
obtained by hacking the email and online communities
used by former officials of the Korea Hydro
and Nuclear Power Company,... rather than
directly from the operator′s network.
The probe also found that malicious codes
used in the cyber attacks were similar to
those used by North Korea,... and the IP addresses
used were based in the North.
