A: Hey, Yumi! Did you hear about South Korea's latest news?
B: No, what's up?

A: They've been hit by a lot of hacking incidents lately. Even their government agencies got affected!
B: Wow, really? That's not good. But why is it happening so often?

A: Seems like their cyber defense system is fragmented and works in silos. It makes responses slow and uncoordinated.
B: Oh, that sounds tricky. I guess they need a clear leader or "first responder" to help them out.

A: Exactly! And they're facing a severe shortage of cybersecurity experts too.
B: That makes sense. If they don't have enough people with the right skills, it's hard for them to stay ahead of threats.

A: Critics say the current approach treats cybersecurity as a crisis management issue rather than essential national infrastructure.
B: Yikes! That doesn't sound good at all... They need to change that mindset fast!

A: Well, it looks like they finally started to address the problem by announcing comprehensive cyber measures and giving the government power to launch probes when needed.
B: I hope it works out for them. It's important to have strong cybersecurity, especially with so much digital innovation happening these days.

A: Definitely! Let's keep an eye on South Korea and see how they manage their situation.
B: Sounds good, Akira. Let's talk about it again soon!
