North Korean hackers stole a vast cache of data, including classified wartime contingency plans jointly drawn by Washington and Seoul, when they breached the computer network of the South Korean military last year, a South Korean lawmaker said Tuesday.
One of the plans included the South Korean military's plan to remove the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, referred to as a "decapitation" plan, should war break out on the Korean Peninsula, the lawmaker, Rhee Cheol-hee, told reporters.
Mr. Rhee, a member of the governing Democratic Party who serves on the defense committee of the National Assembly, said he only recently learned of the scale of the North Korean hacking attack, which was first discovered in September last year.
It was not known whether any of the military's top secrets were leaked, although Mr. Rhee said that nearly 300 lower-classification confidential documents were stolen. The military is still unable to catalog nearly 80 percent of the 235 gigabytes of leaked data, he said.

Its an interesting border to trace.
About 500 feet from where the China border stops and the Russian border starts there is a rail bridge leading to a large coal fired plant in North Korea. There isn't any other bridge to Russia or China for over a 100 miles till you get to Yanbian, North Korea, where there is a very well controlled (at both ends) truck bridge. There are several bridges torn down.
The next rail bridge is on the Yalu, and its mostly used for trucks as well. Then the big show-piece highway bridge that carries almost zero traffic built by the Chinese. China shares more large dams with NK than they do bridges.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
