South Korea's nuclear power operator said Sunday that cyberattacks on noncritical operations at its headquarters are continuing but the country's atomic plants are operating safely and are secure from attack.
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. Ltd has been intensifying its cybersecurity, President and CEO Cho Seok said. He gave no details of the continued cyberattacks or the company's response, citing security reasons.
"We cannot let cyberattacks stop nuclear power operation," Cho told a news briefing. He added that a closed network used for reactor operations was inaccessible from external communication lines and impervious to cyberattacks.
