North Korea: Seoul’s hacking accusations are ‘fabrication’

North Korea is denying any connection to a recent series of cyberattacks targeting South Korean officials’ smartphones. North Korea called reports that North Korean hackers had successfully infiltrated the phones of 40 security and military officials baseless. Pyongyang also accused the South of “fabrication” in the country’s state-run newspaper, Rodong Sinmun.

“The South is claiming the North’s cyber attack and using it for its own political purpose,” said an opinion piece published Sunday, according to Reuters.

The piece accused Seoul of inventing the claim to help usher through a controversial “anti-terrorism” law.

“There is nothing to expect but the sound of eating corpses from a crow’s mouth,” the article said. “However, we cannot just overlook the South’s abrupt, provocative, and heinous accusations against its neighbor.” For the full article click here
