Atomic research institute probes possible computer damage
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) said Friday [4th November]
it is looking into possible damage to its computer system, commenting on foreign
news reports that a young British hacker has taken information out of the
system. An official said chances are high that the hacker has infiltrated the
institute's computer system because it is linked to the worldwide Internet
system.
But the possibility is slim that engineering data on atomic power plant
construction were stolen because some 1,200 items of confidential nuclear
engineering data, such as those on reactor systems and fuel rod design, are
stored separately with retrieval made independently of other data only when they
are needed, he added. In addition, multiple passwords are used when these data
are retrieved in order to protect them from computer viruses and hackers. But
general information available to the public, such as bibliographies, might have
been stolen and the institute is investigating whether the British hacker swiped
such information, the official said. The KAERI's computer system is made up of
CDC Cyber-960 and 970 models as host computers and some 200 workstations linked
thereto.
