If South Korea doesn't adopt blockchain, your database will become North Korea's backyard

North Korea's threats to South Korea have now extended to the field of cybersecurity. South Korean officials say North Korea has "a group of powerful computer hacker units" and that these hackers should be responsible for various cyber attacks in South Korea in the past few years.

The war between North Korea and South Korea is going on behind the scenes every day. A new report suggests that North Korean hackers stole the data of tens of millions of South Korean consumers. While these claims have not been confirmed, South Korean police are currently investigating the data breach. This incident once again shows that customer data needs to be protected by more secure solutions.

Should North Korea be held responsible for this incident?

Initial reports seem to indicate that North Korea is behind the theft of South Korean consumer data. This evidence points directly to the hacker's modus operandi. Apparently, the hack of a South Korean online shopping platform, which resulted in the theft of more than 10 million customer data, seems to be in North Korea's favor.

In addition, South Korean police investigating the incident have also found some clues left by the hackers, and this evidence points to North Korea's spy agencies. A special IP address and the code used by the hackers were detected, and now it seems that North Korea launched the attack on its southern neighbor.

Even though South Korean officials have been highly vigilant about the security of the cyber sector, they are not always able to thwart hacker attacks. North Korea began nuclear testing a year ago, and in February this year the United Nations imposed sanctions on North Korea for missile launches. North Korea has been continuing to do something, and everyone is guessing what North Korea will do next.

But North Korea's threats have extended to the cyberspace sector. South Korean officials say North Korea has "a powerful computer hacking unit" that is responsible for various cyber attacks in South Korea over the past few years. It would not be too surprising if these hackers were responsible for the theft of data from tens of millions of South Korean customers.

This raises the question of why these Korean companies are still using ancient databases to store virtual records. Or more precisely, why can this data be accessed relatively easily via the Internet. Whether it is stored offline or using new technologies such as blockchain to build a data storage infrastructure is a good way.

Unlike traditional centralized data storage solutions, blockchain can be used in a decentralized and distributed manner. It still allows easy access to data, but not all details are stored in one place. Additional security features can be added, such as requiring special tokens to access data.
