[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The Ministry of National Defense has decided to raise the Defense Cyber Protection Condition (CPCON) from level IV to level III.
On the 21st, the Ministry of National Defense announced that it would elevate the defense cyber protection condition starting at 9 a.m. that day. This is the first time in seven months since last August that the defense cyber protection condition has been raised.
An official from the Ministry of National Defense stated, "This measure was taken due to the ongoing conflicts in cyberspace amid the Russia-Ukraine war and concerns that the recent repeated threats from North Korea's suspected ballistic missile launches could expand into the cyber domain."
