As tensions and egos in the region continue to rise

South Korea has officially accused North Korea of the cyberattacks on its infrastructure, banks and several companies. While it was always implied that North Korea was behind the attacks, but it is the first time South Korea has come out and said it.

The investigation into the attacks has revealed that code used in the latest attack is identical to one used in malware linked to North Korea previously.

North Korea hasn't responded to the charges, though it denied involvement previously. Tensions in the region are at an all-time high and these new accusations don't help.

That said, both countries have bigger fish to fry at the moment. North Korea is threatening with nuclear attacks. South Korea is equally hostile to its northern neighbor. South Korea also warned that a rocket test from North Korea is imminent.
