N Korea hacked S Korea chip firms, Seoul says

North Korea has been accused of hacking into South Korean chip firms, according to a statement released by Seoul officials. The cyber attacks are believed to be part of North Korea’s ongoing efforts to steal technology and intellectual property from its southern neighbor.

The South Korean government has vowed to take action against North Korea for these cyber attacks and is working closely with international partners to address the issue. The hacking of chip firms is seen as a serious threat to South Korea’s national security and economic interests.

North Korea has a history of engaging in cyber attacks against South Korea and other countries, often targeting government agencies, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure. The recent hacking of chip firms has raised concerns about the vulnerability of South Korea’s technology industry to cyber threats.

Seoul officials have urged South Korean chip firms to increase their cybersecurity measures to protect against future attacks. They have also called on the international community to hold North Korea accountable for its actions and to work together to prevent further cyber attacks.
