North Korea-linked hackers target 30 South Korean servers

Cyfirma, a cybersecurity firm, reported that hackers suspected of ties to North Korea's Lazarus Group identified 30 servers in South Korea as potential targets for cyberattacks in October, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The report, released Sunday, noted the hackers posted on the dark web on the 28th of last month that IP address ranges in South Korea, Japan, the US, Thailand, Indonesia, and India "look quite promising" for attacks, as reported by Yonhap's Japanese-language service. Separately, KBS World reported that a state agency assessing financial security of banks and insurers was attacked, resulting in a data breach of personal information, with financial authorities saying the attack occurred on an unspecified date. Korean media, including Hankyoreh, also covered the hacking of the Financial Security Institute, which accessed information for financial institutions. The reports do not indicate any public reaction from Korean bloggers or café members on this specific incident.
