Image via Wikipedia North Korea gave an official press statement this Sunday refuting it of all the accusations made by the rival South Korean government, which recently alleged that the North was behind the cyber attack which compromised the computer network of a South Korean bank last month. Moreover, the South also claimed that it was Northern government which was involved directly, as it is a part of their conspiracy since they cannot afford a physical confrontation. The North Korean government agency gave a detailed statement, implying that this new allegation, asserting that it were North Korean hackers who brought down the computer system of Nonghyup bank, is just as fake and forged allegation as the their previous claim that North was involved in sinking one of their navy ship down, called Pyongyang, which sank last year in March.
The National Defense Commission, the most superior agency of North Korea, gave its official statement on the verdict, published by the KCNA news agency, stating that “The Nonghyup computer network crash is nothing more than a repeat of the Cheonan incident.” Further it was mentioned that "It is an act akin to digging its own grave that (the South) is running about madly clinging to confrontation with its compatriots through crudely fabricated schemes."

This in turn further weakened the South's financial system and displayed its dependability over the electronic system and also implied its vulnerability to fall victim to cyber attacks so quickly.
On the other hand, the prosecutors of the South Korean government are very confidently blaming that these hack attacks were positively directed and conducted by an identified group of hackers in North Korean, furthermore, south was also alleged that these hackers are largely supported by the experts from the North Korean Government. It was also mentioned that this attack is not alone; the same group has also conducted several other attacks on the South government websites previously as well.
North Korea has also previously straightforwardly denied it’s an involvement in the previous incident of the South Korean navy ship, Cheonan, which resulting in the death of 46 sailors. It also held on to its stance even after the alleged evidence which was provided by South Korea and Western countries presented proving it was North Korea’s mission.
