  "account": "Recent cyberattacks targeting South Korean financial institutions have been traced back to a multitude of internet protocol (IP) addresses, according to sources. Hana Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, and Shinhan Bank were among the financial firms that experienced information leaks following the attacks. This prompted a major police investigation. The Financial Supervisory Service identified 28 IP addresses linked to the attacks, but police have determined that many were used as cover for the hackers' true locations. Investigators are collaborating internationally to trace the attack route. The Financial Supervisory Service had previously shared these IP addresses with the financial institutions, along with country information, highlighting the possibility of indirect connections used by the attackers. Consequently, the National Police Agency has formed a 28-member team to investigate the case.",
