From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report.
North Korea is often seen as a poor country, cut off from the world and technologically out of date. But officials in South Korea have linked North Korea to recent attacks on computers and computer information systems, and they described the North's ability to carry out such attacks as world class.
South Korea's spy agency recently made the claims at a meeting with a committee of the South Korean National assembly. The national Intelligence Service(NIS) said North Korea has trained what the NIS calls a cyber army, these computer experts can affect the electronic communications and records of individuals, businesses and even governments.
CFILE - An investigator entering the Cyber Terror Response Center of the Korean National Police Agency is reflected on a window in Seoul.
The NIS described seven North Korean hacking organizations and the group of spies operating in China and Japan. It noted that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says cyber warfare is just as important as missiles and nuclear weapons.
Seo Sang-ki is chairman of the assembly's Intelligence committee. He says North Korea established its hacking point in China because it is just across the border has a highly developed Internet service and its activities can be protected.
He says there appears to be about 1,700 North Korean hackers and 4,200 supporting agents operating in China. That number, he says, is increasing. He says they earn money by developing software in China and perform hacking activities to collect national industrial secrets.
The NIS confirmed a report that North Korea opened the private documents of a South Korean IT company that was stored in China.
In October, South Korea's KBS TV reported that the attack may have been an effort to steal information from Seoul's computer networks.
Mr Seo would not name the company, and identified it only by using the letter "S." China usually denies the cyber attacks are launched from its territory.
Kim Hung-kwang is president of the group North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity. He says China knows that North Korean hackers launch attacks from inside China. But he notes that China has never arrested or expelled any North Koreans. He says that is why it appears North Korea is carrying out the attacks under China's approval.
North Korea is believed responsible for attacks earlier this year that affected tens of thousands of computers. South Korean officials say the economic cost was estimated at $800 million.

这里是美国之音慢速英语科技报道。
朝鲜通常被视为贫困国家，与世界隔绝，科技上落后于时代。但韩国官方称最近电脑和电脑信息系统入侵与朝鲜有关，称朝鲜有能力进行这类世界级的入侵。
韩国间谍机构最近在与韩国国民议会委员会开会中发表上述声明，国家情报局(NIS)称朝鲜培训了一批所谓的网络部队，这些电脑专家能影响电子通讯和个人、企业甚至政府的记录。
国际情报局称有7个朝鲜黑客组织和间谍组织在C和日本活动，指出朝鲜领袖金正恩称网络战与导弹和核武器一样重要。
Seo Sang-ki是议会情报委员会主席，他说朝鲜之所以在C建立黑客点，是因为C与该国接壤，且拥有发达的互联网服务，且其活动能被保护。
他说大约有1700名朝鲜黑客和4200个特工在C活动，他说这个数字还在增加。他说他们通过在C开发软件、进行黑客活动收集国家工业秘密来挣钱。
NIS证实了一则报道，报道称朝鲜进入一家韩国IT公司在C存放的私密文件。
10月份，韩国KBS电视台报道称该入侵活动可能是为了从首尔电脑网络窃取信息。
Seo没有指名是哪家公司，只用字母S表示该公司，C一般都否认这些网络袭击是从本国实施的。
Kim Hung-kwang是朝鲜知识分子团结组织主席，他说C知道朝鲜从本国境内发动袭击，但他说C从未逮捕或驱逐任何朝鲜人。他说因此看来好像朝鲜是在C批准下发动袭击的。
据悉朝鲜今年早些时候对成千上万台电脑发动了入侵，韩国官方称其经济损失约为8亿美元。
