Financial sector hacking checks questioned over three-month reviews

Questions were raised at a parliamentary audit over whether IP addresses used in a recent hacking attack on Shinhan Bank also tried to access internet-only banks from January. Lawmaker Kim Hyeong-yeon said differing review periods among financial firms could miss intrusion traces and urged checks of at least one year of records. He criticised a Financial Supervisory Service checklist that does not specify review periods or criteria and called for stronger verification of supporting evidence. Kim also cited delayed incident detection, including a case taking 902 days to identify.
