South Korea is in China the origin of various cyber attacks
Seoul believes the computer is responsible for the assault North Korea

The crisis on the Korean peninsula has reached a new dimension. South Korea has said on Thursday that has placed the origin of serious cyber attack on Wednesday suffered six of their banks and media in an IP address (stands for Internet Protocol) in China. It is still early to know who is responsible for computing the raid, which has affected 32,000 computers as Internet addresses can be easily manipulated and the ongoing investigation into what happened could take weeks, but suspicion quickly relapsed North Korea, which has threatened in recent days with an attack on Seoul and Washington by sanctions imposed after the nuclear test conducted in February.
Previous cyberattacks attributed to North Korea-including one last year, the Computer Network-South Korean newspaper JoongAng were also located in China. Computer security experts in South Korea officials believe North cybersquatters have learned many of his techniques in China and operate from this country. Pyongyang often reject or ignore these accusations.
The Korea Communications Commission (KCC, its acronym in English), the Korean regulatory agency, said that the attackers used Chinese address to access computer networks and generate malicious programs that systems collapsed.
"The Chinese IP address can trigger several hypotheses," said Park Jae-Moon, director of policy at KCC networks, reports France Presse. "Right now, we are doing everything we can to identify the source of the attacks, and leave all possibilities open."
The assault computer completely broke down television networks KBS, YTN and MBC, and paralyzed financial services and Shinhan banks operations, NogHyup and Jeju. He left without banking teams operating in different parts of the country, including the use by some customers credit cards, and triggered fears about the vulnerability of a society increasingly dependent on the Internet. Not affected, however, to governments or agencies of sensitive systems, such as power plants or transport networks.
KCC has responded to the incident by raising the level of alert to cyberattacks "caution", the third highest on a scale of five. At this point, the government tripled the number of people engaged in monitoring and organizing a special investigation team. The MoD has also increased the alert, but was not affected. "Around the world, causing cyber conflict states are precisely those that develop nuclear weapons," said his spokesman Kim Min-seok, Reuters reports.
The regulatory body has distributed programs to protect government offices, banks, hospitals and other agencies to prevent further incidents.
Seoul believes North Korea has a unit specializing in Internet war, aimed at hacking into government and military networks in South Korea and the United States to gather information and disrupt service.
Some experts say that the North uses attack routes across China because this is the only way to communicate with South Korea. Others argue that Pyongyang will Chinese IP addresses should be used for such offensive for geopolitical reasons, but that since local and foreign hackers can use them too, can not say with certainty that the North is responsible for this latest attack.
Beijing, which has been accused of being behind ciberasaltos in the U.S., said that what happened in South Korea shows the importance of a joint response to the threats of information technology. "China wants to work and cooperate constructively in this field with other countries, under the premise of mutual respect and mutual trust," said Hong Lei, Foreign Ministry spokesman.
The cyber attack on Wednesday came days after Pyongyang accused Seoul and Washington of being behind attempts "constant and intense" of assaults computer that disconnected several of its official website for two days last week. Also took place in the middle of North allegations by joint military exercises being carried U.S. and South Korea. Pyongyang last year threatened to attack several South Korean media, including KBC and MBC critical information with the North. The North Korean Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said last week the "reptile media" South that Pyongyang was prepared to run a "sophisticated attack" against Seoul.
James Thurman, commander of U.S. forces in South Korea, said last year the Committee on Armed Services that employs North "sophisticated hackers", trained to carry out ciberasaltos. "Such attacks are ideal for North Korea" because they can be made anonymously, and "have been increasingly employed against a variety of targets, including military institutions, government, educational and commercial".
Pyongyang was blamed for computing raids conducted in 2009 and 2011 against financial organizations and the South Korean government. These consisted of the so-called denial of service attacks, or DDoS distributed, that overload a page with data until it crashes. The assault made on this occasion has been more sophisticated since been used malicious programs that can erase the contents of the hard drive of your computer and peripheral equipment.
The slipstream of what happened, Pyongyang has said on Thursday that attack U.S. bases in Japan if provoked. The North has made today also an outdoor air raid drill, having accused the United States of preparing a raid against the North with the bombers being used during military exercises in the South.
On Wednesday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a mock attack on South Korea with drone aircraft, as reported by the official news agency KCNA, has also said that an artillery unit shot down a target simulating a cruise missile "enemy" Tomahawk.
North Korea conducted on February 12 the third nuclear test in its history. The Security Council of the UN responded by imposing tough sanctions, which the North said the cancellation of the armistice that ended the Korean War (1950-1953) and the threat to carry out "preemptive nuclear strikes "against the U.S. and South Korea.
