Security concerns sparked by Anthropic\'s AI model Claude Mythos are spreading across government and industry in South Korea, with growing calls to rethink defenses as AI can detect vulnerabilities and generate attack code. A Cloud Security Alliance report says the time from vulnerability discovery to exploitation has shrunk sharply. South Korean ministries have held an emergency meeting, while experts urge stronger governance, standardized information sharing and automated, AI-driven defenses alongside basic asset management.

Yoon Sun-jung (윤선중), a professor at Dongguk University, said Korea’s exchange-traded derivatives market faces structural limits and needs regulatory change, citing a sharp drop in trading after 2011 measures raised contract size, margin requirements and mandatory education for retail investors. He said trading shifted to overseas high-risk products and crypto markets. Yoon urged a shift from pre-emptive regulation to tighter monitoring and tougher penalties, easier listings for standardised products and stronger self-regulatory oversight.
