SEOUL, South Korea - The North Korean government was the source of
high-profile cyberattacks in July that caused Web outages in South Korea
and the United States, news reports said Friday.
The IP address — the Web equivalent of a street address or phone number
— that triggered the Web attacks was traced back to North Korea's
Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, the chief of South Korean's
main spy agency reportedly told lawmakers.
The ministry leased the IP address from China, Won Sei-hoon of the
National Intelligence Service told lawmakers Thursday, according to
JoongAng Ilbo newspaper. South Korea's Yonhap news agency carried a
similar report.
