South Korea probes bank breaches amid suspected AI-powered attacks

South Korea's Financial Services Commission is investigating a wave of breaches at major banks including Shinhan Bank (25,000 customers) and KB Kookmin Bank (119,000 credit card records), with Hana Bank also hit via a compromised sales-support system. A server used in the attacks carried an HTML page title with a Chinese-language string tied to ARTEX AI — an open-source agentic penetration-testing system that automates reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, attack-path planning, and exploitation — leading analysts to suspect AI-based attack automation was involved.
