Cyberattack Hammers Korean Banks, Broadcast Nets

Three banks and three broadcast networks in South Korea were hit Wednesday by a virus that froze their computers and shut down a related website. Seoul is looking into the attacks, but has declined to blame North Korea until investigations prove otherwise. It has boosted vigilance in the public and private sector, as well as in the military, against possible future cyberattacks. Symantec said the malware wipes the hard disks of infected computers and reboots them, rendering them unusable.
