Korean cyber attacks came from Britain

Cyber attacks last week that crippled major US and South Korean websites originated from a master server in Britain, a major Vietnamese computer security centre said yesterday.
South Korean and US government and private websites were last week hit by waves of "distributed denial of service" (DDos) attacks designed to swamp selected sites with traffic.
Officials in Seoul said the attacks may have originated in North Korea and that 166,000 "zombie" computers in 74 countries were involved.
And the Bach Khoa Internetwork Security (Bkis) in Vietnam said the master computer was in Britain.
"Most important of all, we could locate the master server that controls all the hacking, located in the UK," said Nguyen Minh Duc, a security researcher.
