The websites of the defense and environment ministries suffered service disruptions this week after being targeted by a cyberattack, officials said Wednesday, following the South Korean cybersecurity watchdog's warning of North Korea's possible hacking attacks.
The distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack took place first on the defense ministry's website at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, prompting the military to take response measures, a ministry official said, adding the website is currently back online.
A separate attack on the environment ministry's website was detected Wednesday morning, according to the ministry. The website was down for a period in the morning before being restored.
