North Korea hacks 239 gigabytes of sensitive information to South Korea

A group of computer criminals under the command of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has managed to hack into the computer equipment and databases of the Ministry of Defense of its neighbor and eternal enemy South Korea. The action involves the theft of 239 gigabytes of documents and confidential information as a secret plan to end Kim Jong-un's life.

Theft includes strategic military information

The information of this attack has been officially confirmed by the North Korean regime itself in the mouth of its legislator Rhee Cheol-hee. According to this government official, during the attack, the hackers have managed to seize 239 gigs of data whose specific origin is none other than the South Korean Defense Integrated Data Center.

Despite the magnitude of the robbery, it is not the first time that South Korea, officially at war with North Korea for more than half a century, has suffered such attacks. According to Yonhap, a South Korean news agency, hackers on government websites have been repeated in recent years.

Fortunately, 80% of the stolen files have not yet been identified by North Korea, however, they include information as sensitive as data related to South Korean military personnel, data on military installations, maneuvers and resources, as well as a plan of action against a possible North Korean attack (OPLAN 3100), and even a war plan devised by the United States and South Korea (OPLAN 5015).

The tension between North Korea on the one hand, and South Korea and the United States on the other, has not escalated in recent months and, obviously, this action does not help to calm things down. So much so that Donald Trump has already warned Kim Jong-un through Twitter: "Sorry, but only one thing will work!". Read between the lines.
