⚡North Korean hackers have broken into South Korean chip equipment makers, according to South Korea's spy agency. Pyongyang is trying to make semiconductors for its weapons programmes, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) says. It comes a month after President Yoon Suk Yeol warned North Korea may stage provocations such as cyber attacks to interfere with upcoming elections. Last year, North Korea hacked into the emails of an aide to President Yoon. "We believe that North Korea might possibly be preparing to produce its own semiconductors in the face of difficulties in procuring them due to sanctions," the NIS said in a statement. It added that Pyongyang's efforts could be driven by the need to chips for its weapons programmes, including satellites and missiles. The NIS believes North Korea penetrated the servers of two chip equipment companies in December and February, stealing product designs and photographs of their facilities.

⚡The U.S. used their F-35s to locate and identify surface-to-air missile sites of Russian units in Ukraine, and this information was shared with NATO countries, Singapore Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen reveals. This is perhaps thanks to F-35's AN/AAQ-37 Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (EODAS). The DAS provides three basic categories of functions in every direction simultaneously: - Missile detection and tracking (including launch point detection and countermeasure cueing). - Aircraft detection and tracking (situational awareness, IRST and air-to-air missile cueing). - Imagery for cockpit displays and pilot night vision (imagery displayed onto the helmet mounted display). F-35's DAS was flown in military operational exercises in 2011, has demonstrated the ability to detect and track ballistic missiles to ranges exceeding 800 miles (1,300 km). 2 Shares
