N.K. hacking ability matches that of CIA, analyst says





North Korea has hundreds of well-trained cyber soldiers and its intelligence warfare capabilities are believed to have reached the level of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a South Korean arms expert said yesterday.

Computers are a rarity and Internet access is almost nonexistent for most people in the reclusive country, but Byun Jae-jung, researcher at a state-run Agency for Defense Development, believes that "North Korea is capable of cyber attacks on both the command and control system of the U.S. Pacific Command and the critical infrastructures of the U.S. mainland, such as electric power."
