S. Korea gov't websites hit by DOS attacks traced to China
2010-06-14
Seoul - Two South Korean government websites were struck by the second cyber attack in a week, but suffered no major damage, the government said on Saturday.

Most of the computers trying to access the websites were traced to China, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security said in a statement.

The Korean Culture and Information Service and the Justice Ministry were the targets of the so-called denial of service attacks on Friday, in which large numbers of computers try to connect to a site at the same time to overwhelm the server, the statement said.

The security ministry said it quickly blocked access by 274 computers with Internet Protocol addresses - the web equivalent of a street address or phone number - mostly in China.
