There has been another attack on South Korean Web sites.

For the third time in only days, the Seoul government reported that North Korean hackers affected the South Korean Defence Ministry and National Intelligence Service.

It is believed at least one South Korean bank was also targeted.

The computer viruses have been infecting the computers in a way that has been difficult to determine because the virus has been programmed to automatically delete itself.

Web sites in the United States were also targeted earlier this week, affecting government Web sites including those of the White House, departments of Homeland Security, Defence, and Treasury and the Voice of America.
