An employee of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information checks the supercomputers at the research institute November 5, 2004 in Daejeon, South Korea. South Korea s Information and Communication Ministry organized a presentation on Ubiquitous Digital Life to promote its policy of turning the country into a Ubiquitous Society where computers and the internet are available anytime and everywhere.
Aside from these, various U.S. officials added that these advanced computers might have also been collecting sensitive details. However, they did not confirm if the supercomputers target normal citizens or big organizations.
