The NIS told the National Assembly that over the last three years, seven North Korean spies have been caught in South Korea, two of whom were busted for trying to use the Internet to relay information to the Workers’ Paradise:
One suspect was arrested on charges of contacting North Korea’s propaganda agency, the National Democratic Front, via e-mail.
Another suspect was arrested on charges of uploading information on an Internet bulletin board that could be accessed by North Koreans. Further details were not released.
Now, this wouldn’t have interested me all that much if I hadn’t been reading a related piece in the Dongnip Shinmun that just so happened to point out that the second dude — the one trying to upload onto an Internet bulletin board a report to be sent to North Korea — was 74 years old.
And who said old folk weren’t Net savvy?

Only seven? What about the Hanchongnyun?
Spies that use the internet to spread disinformation, rumours, and lies.. I said it before.
A 74 year-old person in SK who knows how to play on the internet should be held suspect.
