North Korean Hackers Infiltrate Presidential Staff Email

Office of the President (ROK)

A staff member’s personal email was compromised by North Korean operatives to steal schedule data.

In November 2023, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) confirmed that North Korean hackers breached the personal email account of an administrator in the Presidential Office. The staffer had used their personal account for official business, allowing the attackers to steal sensitive schedules and travel plans. This breach sparked a major investigation into internal security protocols at the highest levels of government.
