A spokesman told the BBC that classified information was thought to
have been stolen, although it is not clear exactly what data was
accessed.
The North has previously been accused of hacking into banks and media outlets but never the South's military.
Pyongyang has in the past rejected allegations of cyber crime involvement.
"It
seems the intranet server of the cyber command has been contaminated
with malware. We found that some military documents, including
confidential information, have been hacked," a military spokesman told South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
It is not clear whether low-grade documents or more important details like war plans were accessed.
The military said that the compromised section of its network was isolated once the attack was detected.

Bureau 121: How good are Kim Jong-un's elite hackers?
North Korea is believed to have thousands of personnel involved in cyberwarfare.
Since
2010 they have been focusing on application programming interfaces
(APIs), which can be designed to attack national infrastructures, North
Korean defector and computer science professor Kim Heung-Kwang told the
BBC.

recent years against South Korean government agencies, banks and media

An apparent concerted campaign involving the planting
of malicious code began in 2014, Reuters news agency quoted police as
saying.
It was aimed at laying the groundwork for an attack on a massive scale, the agency said.
The
campaign was discovered in February this year after defence-related
material including blueprints for the wings of F-15 fighter jets was
stolen.
Some 140,000 computers at 160 companies were attacked up until this June, according to police.

Though early reports have confirmed that the game will follow a brand-new narrative, the trailer suggests that it will be set during the same time period as the original LotR books. IGN reports that the game will be a ‘Prince of Persia-like stealth action’ title, that will mix “stealth with vertical climbing parkour.” Like many recent titles – most recently the PS4 release Ghost of Tsushima – the game will emphasize non-combat options, forcing the player to rely on cunning and misdirection to progress. The games’ developers have also confirmed that familiar characters from the stories will reappear in the, with some available as “allies” that the player will be able to play alongside. So f...
Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has told ESPN Brasil that Jose Mourinho contacted him regularly last season to let him know that he was going "to have a future" at Old Trafford. The 22-year-old made 13 appearances for the first team during Louis van Gaal's tenure before Mourinho opted to send him on loan to Granada and Valencia the following campaigns in order to secure more regular time in La Liga. Pereira made the most of the opportunity to impress Mourinho, and the United boss showed his faith in the Belgium-born Brazil youth international last week by giving him a starting role in the 2-1 victory over Leicester City. "I am very happy to be back this year here," Pereira said. "After two years out there are new things. I am very happy to be here and very proud. I'm very happy. It is a very happy moment for me.
