If you hadn't heard, South Korea's under a lot of pressure lately, including a spate of internet-based attacks against banks and broadcasters on March 20th that some worry (though can't confirm) was the result of a large-scale hacking campaign. The country won't simply stand idle and brace for another hit, according to the Yonhap News Agency. It understands from an unnamed senior official that South Korea's Ministry of Defense is complementing its Cyber Command division with a policy group, not unlike a UK equivalent, that would coordinate online security across different military sections, including the refinement of a defensive cyberwarfare strategy and recruiting more people to bulk up the digital front lines. Provided the claim is accurate, the division would be up and running before the first half of the year is over -- and likely not a moment too soon.
