The main dishes to remember:
- South Korea and the EU have agreed to strengthen joint cybersecurity efforts.
- Officials said they would focus on threats such as the cryptographic flight of North Korea.
- They asked for international cooperation, including intelligence sharing and alignment in forums like the UN.
South Korea and the European Union have undertaken to strengthen cooperation to combat global cyber states, with particular emphasis on illegal cryptocurrency of North Korea.
The agreement occurred during a dialogue on the cybersecurity policy held Tuesday in Seoul, where those responsible on both sides approached the growing complexity of the cyber attacks and the urgent need of joint responses, according to a report by Korea Jongang Daily.
The young Jong-Kwon, Director General of International Security of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Maciej Stadejek, director of security and defense, led talks, and Maciej Stadejek, director of international security of international security for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, and Maciej Stadejek, director of the security and defense policy.
South Korea, Eu Vow CYBESCURITY CLORS CLORS
The two parties “analyzed the growing cyber-startred landscape, identified the types of cyber-states posed by key players, including the flight of cryptocurrency of North Korea” and agreed to deepen the collaboration, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea in a press release.
The dialogue has covered strategies to improve cybercrime surveys, sharing cross -border information and coordinated responses to attacks targeting financial infrastructure.
Officials have also discussed the alignment of their positions in multilateral forums such as the United Nations to strengthen global cyber norms.
The EU and South Korea have underlined the need to support developing countries in creating cyber-defense capacities and has committed to maintaining an open, secure and resilient cyberspace.
Tuesday’s meeting included representatives of the National Intelligence Service of South Korea, the Office of Supreme Prosecutors and the National Police Agency, as well as leaders of the European Commission cybersecurity division.
With groups supported by North Korea such as Lazarus which continues to target cryptographic platforms, the problem has acquired a renewed emergency.
The two parties stressed that their regular cyberpolic consultations would serve as a key platform to approach not only the flight of cryptography but a wider range of digital threats.
Last week, South Korean police arrested 25 people linked to a large cryptographic scam which frauded at least 48 victims out of 734 million pounds Sterling ($ 540,000) by pretending to be cryptography advisers.
The groups have exploited false call centers and counterfeit crypto exchanges, showing false profits to attract victims to larger investments.
North has stolen $ 310 million in crypto since 2019
The South Korean legislator HA Tae-Keung, a member of the principal of the power of opposition people, criticized the response of the cybersecurity of the current administration.
He said North Korean pirates had stolen additional $ 310 million in cryptocurrencies from South Korean wallets from cyber-vols of $ 2 billion reported by the UN in 2019.
Ha allegedly alleged that Internet & Security Agency (Kisa), the main cyber-defense organization in the country, has also been compromised and called for a complete overhaul.
He proposed to transform Kisa into a centralized agency under presidential control, aimed at strengthening the national defenses against cyber years.
Security experts note that cryptographic platforms have improved defenses, but pirates are using more and more social engineering tactics to target individuals.
