병무청이 지난 3년간 1천607건의 사이버공격을 받은 것으로 14일 나타났다.
민주당 김진표 의원이 인용한 병무청 국감자료에 따르면 최근 3년간 병무청을 대상으로 한 사이버공격은 우리나라를 포함해 총 37개국에서 시도됐다.
공격을 시도한 국가는 국내가 345 건으로 가장 많았고, 미국이 41건, 중국이 39건으로 많았다.
병무청은 한국 남성의 데이터베이스 종합보관소이다.
병무청이 업무 망과 인터넷이 분리되 외부접근이 불가능하다고 전한 반면, 김진표 의원은 최근 해킹 기술의 지능, 다양화로 침해사고 가능성이 있다며 보안 인력과 관제시스템 확충이 필요하다고 지적했다.

Military agency suffered 1,607 cyber attacks: lawmaker
The Military Manpower Administration of South Korea came under 1,607 cyber attacks in the past three years, a lawmaker said on Monday, citing a report from the agency to a parliamentary audit.
The online attacks came from 36 countries, in addition to home-grown hacking attempts. The majority of attacks traced back to South Korean Internet addresses, followed by the United States and China.
MMA stores and manages the vast database of those serving in the Korean military. The agency said it runs business and Internet networks separately, making it virtually impossible for outsiders to access the crucial database via hacking attempts and computer viruses.
Rep. Kim Jin-pyo of the Democratic Party said that more resources were needed to beef up security in consideration of rapidly advancing hacking techniques.
