US, SOUTH KOREAN WAR PLANS HACKERED

Hackers in North Korea have allegedly stolen a cache of military documents from South Korea, according to a South Korean lawmaker.

Lee Cheol-hee, a member of South Korea's ruling Democratic Party, told local media outlets that the classified documents were taken in a September 2016 cyberattack on the South Korean Defense Ministry. The ministry would not comment to ABC News, citing national security reasons. ABC News could not reach Lee for comment.

The sensitive documents also reportedly contained U.S.-South Korean plans for a "decapitation" strike against the North Korean regime, a plan that has supposedly angered North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

About 80 percent of the material stolen has not yet been identified. The stolen trove totals about 235 gigabytes, according to reports.

A Pentagon official told ABC News, “We don’t comment on intelligence matters.”

This hack was originally reported last May, but this is the first time details of what was stolen have emerged.
