S Korea seeks Chinese help over nuclear cyber-attack

South Korea is seeking the help of China over a cyber-attack on its nuclear power network after the IP address of a suspected hacker was traced to a north-eastern Chinese city.

Seoul says multiple internet addresses used in the attacks stem from Shenyang city near the North Korean border.

China has not responded to the request but says it firmly opposes hacking.

It is not clear who is behind the leaks of data, which officials say did not undermine the safety of the reactors.
