smartphones of dozens of key officials, stealing text and voice messages and their call logs. The announcement came a day after North Korea warned of nuclear strikes in response to the start of Seoul-Washington military drills it views as an invasion rehearsal. This year's manoeuvres are the largest ever, meant to respond to the North's recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch.
The National Intelligence Service said in a statement the cyber attacks were made between late February and early March.
It didn't say which officials' phones were hacked or whether the stolen text and voice messages contained any sensitive information.
The statement said North Korea also unsuccessfully tried to hack into email accounts of South Korean railway officials earlier this year, in a preparation for a cyber attack on the South's railway transport control system. Last year, South Korea said North Korea has a 6,000-member cyber army dedicated to disrupting the South's military and government. The figure was a sharp increase from a 2013 South Korean estimate of 3,000 such specialists. When I make mention of countries sound in ICT. What's your take on this?
