Online gambling operator in-fighting in South Korea

Without releasing specific details of the companies involved, South Korean police have revealed that two local computer experts have been arrested on charges of originating cyber-attacks on an illegal gambling website at the paid behest of a competitor.

The police claim that one of the experts was paid the equivalent of almost a million dollars to launch Distributed Denial of Service attacks on the internet gambling website.

Investigations continue as police assemble more evidence against the two defendants.
