South Korea\'s Securities and Futures Commission filed a criminal complaint against 8 people, including a former senior NH Investment & Securities executive, for allegedly using non-public information related to tender offers to make illicit gains. It also imposed maximum administrative penalties on 8 secondary and tertiary recipients accused of market-order disruption. Investigators said the suspects bought shares in 15 listed firms and later sold after disclosure. NH said it took internal control and disciplinary steps.

South Korea\'s introduction of the National Network Security Framework, or N2SF, under new cyber security guidelines is spurring activity among security companies amid expectations of fresh demand.

FasooAI says building a system to identify and classify data is the first step and is promoting its FDR product and partial automation.
