[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education will conduct an "Integrated Cyber Attack Response Drill" for three days from the 22nd to the 24th to establish a response system for rapid reaction and minimizing damage in the event of a cyber threat situation.


This drill will be conducted on the information systems of affiliated institutions and education support offices, including network intrusion and DDoS attack drills, as well as tabletop exercises simulating hacking email responses and personal information leakage incidents involving participation from faculty and staff.


The network intrusion drill involves installing files containing malware on faculty and staff PCs to check the institution's incident recognition and response measures, while the DDoS attack drill attempts DDoS attacks on information systems operated within the institution to verify appropriate responses.


The hacking email response drill sends hacking attempt emails to representatives of institutions and departments and work email accounts to check the appropriateness of initial actions by faculty and staff, such as immediately reporting upon identifying or opening hacking emails.



Park Seong-il, Director of the Budget Information Division, stated, "Through this integrated cyber attack response drill, we will check our response posture to cyber crisis situations, and for participants in the hacking email response drill, we will provide guidance on how to identify hacking emails and use emails safely to further strive to create a safe cyber environment for Gyeongbuk education."
