Australia Vulnerable to Korean Hacking Army

Posted by samzenpus on from the hacking-matilda dept.

Nan writes "An army of more than 500 hackers hired by the North Korean military could find Australian businesses a "softer target" than their U.S. or European-based counterparts, according to security experts. The hacking army's mission is to break into South Korean, Japanese and American corporate networks to gather intelligence and steal trade secrets, according to reports."

    But not as much fun.
