South Korea's unification ministry is urging North Korea to stop its cyber attacks. This comes after the country's prosecutors accused the North of hacking a financial firm's banking system.

South Korea's unification ministry is urging North Korea to stop its cyber attacks, a day after the country's prosecutors accused the North of hacking a South Korean financial firm's banking system.

On Tuesday, South Korean prosecutors said North Korean hackers are responsible for bringing down the network of the country's agricultural banking cooperation, Nonghyup.

[Lee Jong-joo, Spokeswoman, South Korean Unification Ministry]:
"We're strongly urging North Korea to immediately stop its indiscreet cyber terrors such as hacking our private financial firm's computer network. In the future, we will keep taking necessary measures to strengthen our competence to deal with the North's cyber terror with related departments."

The crash of Nonghyup's computer system affected millions of customers... rendering them unable to use the bank's credit cards and ATMs for more than a week.

North Korea was also blamed for disrupting Global Positioning System signals in the South in March, possibly in an attempt to disrupt joint military drills by South Korean and United States forces.
