South Korea Says Nuclear Reactors Safe After Cyberattacks
wiredmikey writes South Korea on Thursday ruled out the possibility that recent cyber-attacks on nuclear power operator Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co (KHNP) could cause a malfunction at any of the country's 23 atomic reactors. Earlier this week, South Korea heightened security in the wake of the leaks, with the defense ministry's cyber warfare unit increasing its watch-level against attacks from North Korean and other hackers. On Monday, KHNP launched a two-day drill, testing its ability to thwart a cyber attack.

When Niggers promote one social program after the next to take care of some segment of society, are they doing it for that segment of society, or is it doing it because the Niggers seek power and position? If you've ever wondered about the answer to that question, then read on. The points I plan to make in this screed will sound tediously familiar to everyone who wants to educate, pressure, and change society as a whole - to love and regard the con
Then any hacker that sets one off will have to wonder if they're next.
A simple plan, fiendish in its intricacies.
they need to go down now
Lets just air-gap those systems -- unless someone can explain why we need to make a nuclear reactor accessible from the Internet.
I don't get why these critical assets are hooked to the internet. Surely that isn't possibly true? You'd think any sane system would have them on their own network sealed off from any possible outside connection. Why do they need internet access? To browse facebook? Porn?
Or we could just make sure the reactors we have are not connected to the Internet.
It is very attractive! juegos gratis yepi
That won't save us, the internet is going to be everywhere.
there is always a next time for hackers, and they learn each time they get in. moral: disconnect from the web. VT102 terminals would make a dandy airgap, but they won't run the manglement crap.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
That didn't help Iran with Suxnet any. Their reactor WAS walled off, but a USB stick made the whole thing fall down.
Coming after the Stuxnet experience and the recent hack of a steel mill in Germany, which forced an emergency shutdown of the furnace, with 'heavy damage', the complacent assertion that no cyber attack could cause a reactor malfunction just seems witless. Of course these reactors are susceptible to getting hacked, the main obstacle is the relative obscurity of the control systems and the reality that there are multiple different designs in service, so that a wide ranging attack is very complicated. By the same token, the diversity of targets makes the defense much more difficult, no 'one size fits all' protocol is likely to be effective.
The hope may be that hacking a nuclear plant might be seen as an act of war, so not something most states would pursue, but the proliferation of devices makes it easier to create a hard to attribute hack. There is plenty of ill will around as well, so this is likely to be just the first such attack post Stuxnet.
It wasn't a reactor. It was a fuel production plant. It's likely that their reactors are walled off to a greater extent.
It took two days to unplug an ethernet cable?! WTF are nuke plants doing on the internet anyway.
What, why? A covert, secret, illegal, sneaky atomic weapon material facility is exactly the one thing you want to keep on the down-low. There is nothing that it needs to know about the outside world. It doesn't have to coordinate squat with other plants for its operations, it doesn't have to update its Facebook tweets. A power plant is less clandestine, and needs to know more about what's going on outside. They have to adjust to the grid, and having a little warning about big up or down events helps to keep the giant generators from turning into shrapnel.
ah so. ... 'twas the internet, sure : )
lost the vietnam war. 'twas the internet.
plane crashed. 'twas the internet.
somebody got shot. 'twas the internet.
nuclear reactor (nearly) blew up (again). 'twas the internet.
got a flat tire. 'twas the internet.

great website and it is very helpful for us happy new year sms
A civilian reactor, to a tried and tested design, with the control systems built by Germans versus a one off secret enrichment plant built by local contractors.
I'd back the former as more secure versus the latter just about everywhere, probably even in the USA given some massive fuckups in defence industry electronics at times.
Hmm, three of my posts on different stories all modded down within minutes, including this one on a relatively old story well past the date when most readers have moved on. It appears that I've annoyed someone who is very petty and has decided to list my comments then downmod them. Is that person going to be a childish coward or own up?
true. I don't think they have gotten to the point of actually building reactors beyond Bushehr and Isfahan, and both of those are mostly foreign built (by Russia and China respectively).
