Simultaneous AI hacking of personal information hits the financial sector… “More infiltration attempts may come”
A series of hacking attacks, likely carried out using artificial intelligence (AI), has been reported across South Korea's financial sector, targeting banks, capital companies, savings banks, and mutual credit cooperatives. The attacks, which occurred over several days at the end of September, resulted in the theft of personal data, including customer names, phone numbers, and income information, from several financial institutions, including Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, and Hana Bank.
The hacking attempts were made through employee mobile work systems, web servers, and other channels, and it is believed that the attackers may have used AI to identify vulnerabilities and carry out the attacks. The financial authorities and affected companies are working to prevent further attacks and protect customers' information.
