AI hacking armed with speed hits South Korea, will security strategy overhaul gain momentum
Security experts say recent hacking attacks targeting South Korea’s financial sector used AI-based tools to find and exploit system gaps without sophisticated techniques. Customer and personal information leaks were confirmed at several banks and finance firms. Analysts believe the attacker used ARTEX, an open-source AI penetration testing tool, and likely exploited weaker external systems used by staff or partners. Industry figures call for global cooperation and AI-speed defenses.
