A Tokyo-based secondhand computer dealer illegally exported 1,800 personal computers and liquid-crystal displays to a Pyongyang organization which may have been involved in cyber-attacks against South Korean and U.S. websites, according to investigation sources.
The Metropolitan Police Department's Public Safety Department suspects the 1,800 units, exported in June 2009, were used in attacks against governmental organizations and banks' websites in both countries, in events that occurred the following month. (Yomiuri)
