Cyberattack Hits South Korean Government Web Sites

This is a developing story with few details but it was just reported about an hour ago on Agence France Presse that South Korean police are investigating a series of cyberattacks against their government web sites.

About 25 sites were down for four hours on Tuesday in a Denial of Service attack that hit the presidential office, the defense ministry and other government web sites.

This follows a report last week, also from AFP, that the South Korean military was setting up a cyberdefense command to fight possible cyberattacks from North Korea and other countries.

I liked your text on CIO "Risk management frameworks easy to employ",
you mention COBIT and OCTAVE, but you may mention also MEHARI (MEthod for Harmonized Analysis of RIsk)it is free, complete with a knowledge base of security controls, risk scenarios and firstly includes ways to classify assets (mainly IT) from the stakes of the organization, documented as well +forum
