We must quickly take measures to prevent a recurrence," one unnamed military official told Kyodo. A Defence Ministry spokesman denied the report. The Defence Information Infrastructure, a high-speed large-capacity communication network connecting military bases and camps, was subject to the attack, the report said. The hacker was reportedly able to gain unauthorized access to computers at the National Defence Academy and the National Defence Medical College, using them as a gateway to enter the computer system.
