Hackers from North Korea are reported to have stolen a large cache of military documents from South Korea, including a plan to assassinate North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.

Rhee Cheol-hee, a South Korean lawmaker, said the information was from his country's defence ministry.

The compromised documents include wartime contingency plans drawn up by the US and South Korea.

They also include reports to the allies' senior commanders.

2. Classified military data hacked by N. Korea (Korea Times)

North Korean hackers accessed hundreds of classified military documents in September last year, including one about a Seoul-Washington operational plan on removing Pyongyang's leadership, according to a lawmaker, Monday.

The revelation contradicts the Ministry of National Defense's explanation in May that, although its cyber networks were compromised in September 2016, the data leak was not at a "serious level."

Citing information from the ministry, Rhee Cheol-hee of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) said 235 gigabytes of data were leaked after the hackers broke into internet websites and the intranet managed by the Defense Integrated Data Center (DIDC).

The DIDC is responsible for storing all types of digital military data.
