Hackers stole classified information on dangerous chemicals in their raid on the South Korean army computer network in what was believed to be an attack by North Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported Saturday, quoting government officials.
The Chemicals Accident Response Information System, used by 589 South Korean government agencies including fire and police stations, was accessed by hackers on March 5. Hackers appear to have broken into the system using the ID of a South Korean army officer whose personal computer was infected by a virus, according to officials.
"We believe the hacker tapped into the system using the ID, withdrawing classified information of 1,350 dangerous chemicals," an army official was quoted as saying by Yonhap. "The government believes North Korea could be behind the hacking. We are continuing our investigation."
