North Korea is training a team of computer-savvy "cyberwarriors" as the battleground for its cross-border rivalry with the South extends into cyberspace, according to the Associated Press (AP) on Monday.

This comes after last Wednesday's cyberttack on local Internet service provider LG Uplus which resulted in server outages at three domestic broadcasters--YTN, MBC and KBS--as well as the Shinhan Bank and NongHyup Bank. The attacks were initially traced to an IP address in China but the Korea Communications Commission has since corrected its assessment saying the malware came from a local origin, a Yonhap report Sunday stated.

Currently, the South has no proof that the North was behind the cyberattack. However, the security experts believe North Korea has trained thousands of hackers for cyberwarfare with skills better than their counterparts in China and South Korea.
