Police Launch Internal Probe into Alleged Simultaneous Hacking of the Five Major Banks
Allegations of bank hacking: police begin investigation into Shinhan, KB Kookmin, Hana, and BNK Busan Attention is also being paid to the possibility of AI infiltration... Check whether this will develop into a major cyber investigation
The police have begun a preindictment investigation into suspicions of simultaneous hacking attacks targeting major domestic commercial banks. Banks that have formally disclosed damage from hacking, including Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank, and BNK Busan Bank, were included in the investigation.
The National Police Agency’s Cyber Terror Response Investigation Unit reportedly launched an internal inquiry immediately after signs of related information leakage became known on the 2nd. Woori Bank and NH Nonghyup Bank also reportedly experienced hacking attempts, but no customer information was leaked.
In the industry, attention is focused on the possibility that an intrusion tool using artificial intelligence was used in this attack. If the police chuyển the case to a formal investigation, this incident could become the first major cyber case handled by the police since the revised Criminal Procedure Act.
