Korean authorities are collaborating with the FBI to identify the hackers responsible for recent cyberattacks on the country's financial institutions, according to sources. The Korean National Police Agency has initiated cooperation with the FBI to gather crucial data, including account details and access logs from major U.S.-based cybersecurity and artificial intelligence firms.
CrowdStrike, a U.S. cybersecurity company, initially pointed the finger at a 26-year-old Chinese man from Guangdong Province, but the individual has denied any involvement. While local authorities believe the attacks may have been perpetrated by different individuals, they are exploring the data provided by CrowdStrike to determine the hackers' identities.
Additionally, they are examining documents that allegedly link the hackers to a Chinese distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack group.
