The National Police Agency in South Korea has launched an investigation into a series of recent cyber attacks on major financial institutions, according to officials. The attacks, which targeted companies such as Hana Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, and Shinhan Bank, resulted in the unauthorized disclosure of customer information, the police said.
The National Office of Investigation (NOI) has formed a 28-member team to probe the case, suspecting violations of the information and communications network law, officials revealed. The NOI also indicated that the case may be referred to the Serious Crime Investigation Agency, a newly established body tasked with handling cyber crimes targeting key state facilities and financial infrastructure.
The NOI pledged to conduct a thorough and prompt investigation, working closely with relevant agencies to address the public's concerns and bolster cybersecurity measures.
