Cyber Hacking Scandal in South Korea

Parliament approves special counsel bill to probe cyber hacking scandal
By Kim Eun-jung

South Korean lawmakers passed Thursday a bill calling for a special probe into the October by-elections hacking scandal amid lingering suspicions that ruling party members were involved in the scheme.

The move came after the main opposition Democratic United Party last month submitted a bill to launch an investigation into the hacking of the national election watchdog's Web site.

It claimed the prosecution's probe was not enough to clear up suspicions over the hacking.

Prosecutors last month concluded that a former aide to former ruling party lawmaker Choi Ku-sik colluded with a former secretary for the National Assembly Speaker Park Hee-tae to mastermind the attack that paralyzed the National Election Commission's Web site for two hours.

While opposition lawmakers have raised suspicions that the cyber attack may have involved higher ranks in the ruling party, the prosecution team said no lawmakers were behind the hacking.

Two suspects and five other IT administrators have already been arrested and are also accused of attacking the Web site of then Seoul mayoral candidate Park Won-soon, a lawyer-turned-activist who beat his high-profile ruling party rival Na Kyung-won.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
