| NORTH Korean computer hackers were responsible for bringing down the network of a South Korean bank last month, prosecutors in Seoul said on Tuesday, in the latest of a string of cyber attacks thought to have originated from the secretive state.
Kim Young Dae, a senior prosecutor from the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office, said an 'unprecedented act of cyber terror' by a North Korean group caused the network breakdown of South Korea's agricultural banking cooperative Nonghyup.
The crash of Nonghyup's computer system affected millions of customers who were unable to use the bank's credit cards and ATMs for more than a week.
