North Korea was apparently behind a recent hacking attack that netted a secret U.S.-South Korean plan to defend the peninsula should war break out, South Korea's military intelligence agency reported.
he suspected hacking occurred late last month when a South Korean military officer failed to remove a USB device when he switched a military computer from a restricted-access intranet to the Internet.
The USB device contained a summary of OPLAN 5027, a highly sensitive war plan prepared by the U.S.-South Korean Combined Forces Command in case of an all-out war with the North. The plan calls for the dispatch of nearly 700,000 U.S. troops to the peninsula should a full-scale war break out with the North.
You can find a summary of OPLAN on any internet site
Its nothing new. They may have stolen a more detailed OPLAN
The NK’s have had 50 years of watching US/SKorean maneuvers. They’ll have files on every strategy, and considering its the defense of a peninsula, how many can there really be. Also collaborators will have sited every prepared fighting position and line of communication. There can’t be many surprises left.
The only real question mark is the willingness/reluctance of Washington to honor commitments. That’s not data they’ll get from a flash drive.
I agree.
Must not be that big of a secret, its got its own Wiki page...
This guy could work for our State Department.
Summary of OPLAN 5027: “If North Korea shoots, shoot back.”
In case of war take out OPLAN, rip out 1st page throw the rest of the OPLAN out
