South Korea Trains Cyber Students

Students in South Korea are being trained in hacking and cracking codes to defend their country against North Korea's cyber attacks. Yiming Woo from Reuters reports. Reporter, Reuters, Yinming Woo. <<< This classroom in Korea University is called the "war room". It's where students like Noh train to defend his country against North Korea's cyber attacks. Noh only wants to be known by his surname. The atmosphere's secretive -- courses are known only by number, and students keep their identities hidden. Noh has to complete a seven-year course in hacking and cracking codes. SOUTH KOREAN STUDENT OF DEPARTMENT OF CYBER DEFENCE AT KOREA UNIVERSITY <<< "It's not a burden on my time, I think it's part of the process to build my career. I am absolutely committed. Becoming a cyber warrior means devoting myself to serve my country." 

North Korea has a 6,000-strong cyber army. That's more than 10 times the size of South Korea's, one of the world's most technologically-advanced countries.
