S. KOREAN LAWMAKER SAYS NORTH HACKED WAR PLANS

-

A South Korean lawmaker said Tuesday that North Korean hackers may have stolen highly classified military documents that include U.S.-South Korean wartime “decapitati­on strike” plans against the North, according to South Korean media reports.

Rep. Lee Cheol-hee cited unidentifi­ed defense officials as saying the hackers stole the plans last year. If confirmed, such a hack would be a major blow for South Korea when its relations with North Korea are at a low point.
