KR: Military targeted in nearly 19,000 cyberattack attempts in 2025: lawmaker

South Korea's military faced approximately 18,951 cyberattack attempts in 2025, representing a significant increase from prior years and the highest volume recorded over a five year period. The uptick reflects an escalating threat landscape targeting critical defense infrastructure.

Why it matters: Military personnel, defense contractors, and government cybersecurity teams in South Korea need to assess detection and response capabilities as adversaries intensify reconnaissance and potential attack operations against critical national defense systems.
