South Korea’s military will create a cyber warfare school to help combat growing Internet attacks from North Korea<\/strong>, an official said today.<\/p>\n

The army has teamed up with Korea University to open in 2012 the new cyber-defense school<\/strong>, which will admit 30 students a year for a four-year course.<\/p>\n

Courses include how to break malicious Internet codes, ways to psychologically prepare for cyber warfare and other IT technologies to guard against potential attacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“We… seek to nurture warriors to fight in cyber warfare amid growing cyber-terror threats from North Korea and to secure a stable supply of specialists,” the army said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The military will pay tuition for the students who upon graduation<\/strong> will become army officers required to work in online warfare-related units for the following seven years, the spokesman said.<\/p>\n

The North reportedly maintains elite hacker units<\/strong>, prompting the South to set up a specific military command to combat them.<\/p>\n

In May, South Korean prosecutors said the North’s military intelligence launched a cyber attack<\/strong> that paralyzed operations at one of the country’s largest banks.<\/p>\n

North Korea’s defense ministry denied the allegation<\/strong> and called it “absurd”.<\/p>\n

Seoul also accused Pyongyang of staging cyber attacks on websites<\/strong> of major South Korean government agencies and financial institutions in March this year and in July 2009.<\/p>\n

Pyongyang also rejected those allegations<\/strong>, accusing Seoul of inventing the charges to raise tensions.<\/p>\n

Asian countries are on their game in the technology world. We need a similar school in the US, although we have the best engineering schools in the world!<\/p>\n
