South Korea network hack prompts broadcast, bank outages

YTN, MBC and KBS, Korean major broadcasting networks were hacked by an unknown organizations calling itself "Whois Team as.well as Shinhan Bank and NongHyup Bank. Government and police officials speculate that it would be a deed of North Korea. Because it intimidated to attack the United States and South Korea few days ago. This incident was quite critical, therefore insiders said that it would take a few days to gather evidence.

Some of my friends using NongHyup or Shinhan Bank told me that they couldn't withdraw money from ATM. I didn't know what happened before I read this article. I also think North Korea would be a criminal of this attack, because it has had problems-DDOS attack-like this before. Groups, especially financial groups might get a tremendous loss. I hope that authorities will cope with hacking quickly and find culprits.
