SEOUL, South Korea – Major North Korean hacking groups have mounted “all-out” cyber attacks against South Korean defense companies for more than a year, breaching the firms’ internal networks and stealing technical data, South Korea’s police said on Tuesday, April 23. The police, working with a team of national spy agency and private sector experts, traced the hacks to the groups, identifying them by the source IP addresses, the re-routing architecture of the signals, and the signatures of the malwares used, it said.
The hackers also took advantage of the simple security lapse by employees at subcontractors who used the same passcodes for their private and official email accounts, breaching defense company networks and extracting confidential technical data.South Korea has emerged as a major global defense exporter, with contracts signed in recent years to sell mechanised howitzers, tanks and fighter jets valued at billions of dollars.
