Un hacker a atacat cu ajutorul AI cel puțin nouă bănci din Coreea de Sud. A utilizat inclusiv Claude Code

A hacker employed AI tools in a campaign targeting at least nine South Korean banks, raising concerns about cybercrime. The campaign, active from late September to early October 2026, utilized tools like Claude Code and ARTEX for automated security testing. Investigators found that AI was used for system reconnaissance, code generation, and even creating a fake CV for a cybersecurity researcher. Thousands of customer data may have been exposed, affecting major institutions like Shinhan and KB Kookmin. While the attacker is suspected to be a Chinese speaker motivated by financial gain, no direct link to the Chinese government has been established. This incident highlights the evolving use of AI in cyberattacks, necessitating enhanced security measures.
