A South Korean Government-sponsored institute for the research and application of nuclear power has acknowledged its network was infiltrated using an undisclosed VPN vulnerability.
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) pinned last month’s attack on state-sponsored threat actors from North Korea, having initially acknowledged, and then denied being attacked.
Now, the institute has once again changed its position, having not only now officially confirmed the attack, but has also apologized for initially attempting to cover up the breach.
