According to South Korean administrators do hackers still attempts to nuclear power stations flat out to cyber attacks. Or would it go on to launch attacks on non-critical systems: the major operations are controlled with systems that are not linked to the internet.
Director Cho Seok of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power has let know that the state takes measures to prevent hackers from nuclear power plants disrupt, so reports Reuters on the basis of a declaration. Despite the ongoing cyber attacks would be the nuclear power plants normally run and there would be no danger for the safety. The hackers would their attacks concentrate on non-critical systems within nuclear power plants.
The Korean managers have a team on standby that can intervene if danger threatens. They keep the systems at least until the end of the year in the holes. Reason would be that a hacker has threatened to reactors to destroy South Korea, not yielding to the demands they have made. The authorities assume, however yet from the hackers with their attacks only turmoil want to sow.
Last week, it appeared that hackers have penetrated systems of the kerncentralebeheerder. Also then was, according to the authorities non-critical data stolen, and was the functioning of the nuclear reactors are not in danger. Incidentally, would the hackers for more than a year and a half ago, invaded: when were the critical business operations are disconnected from the internet.
Who was behind the hack is not yet known, but there are traces of a Chinese city near North Korea. The northern neighbour was already suspicious and it is well known that North Korean hackers sometimes about the border with China, hackaanvallen run. In addition, the stalinist country is embroiled in a tightly wound fight with the United States, ally of South Korea, because of the intrusion on the systems of Sony. North Korea has denied being involved in the hacks.
