North Korea calls U.S. cyber threat claims disinformation, warns of countermeasures

SEOUL - North Korea's foreign ministry on Sunday rejected U.S. accusations that Pyongyang poses a cyber threat, calling them groundless disinformation aimed at justifying Washington's hostile policy, state media KCNA said.

A ministry spokesperson said North Korea would take all necessary measures to defend national interests and citizens' rights in cyberspace against what it called growing confrontation by hostile forces.
