韩国金融机构又被一波网络攻击所冲击，凸显出AI驱动的黑客入侵亚洲的风险越来越大。 最近的事件影响到代申证券公司和米拉资产全球投资公司以及密码交换Bithumb公司。
这起事件大约发生在一系列针对韩国金融机构的网络攻击发生一个月后，安全研究者将9月袭击韩国的浪潮与一名疑似以中国为基地的黑客联系起来，该黑客依赖于名为Artex的AI渗透测试工具，尽管官员们仍在调查最新违规事件的根源。
当地有消息称，戴信举报了一次网络攻击，暴露出38,490客户的个人信息，包括姓名，电子邮件地址，手机号码等。 该公司已通知受影响的客户，正与当局合作进行调查，并将依法赔偿任何损失。
与此同时，Mirae和Bithumb在星期三报道了当地媒体分别发生的网络安全事件，但都没有证实客户数据被取走。
韩国金融监管部门呼吁加强网络安全措施，该国还计划对私营部门的数十个信息技术系统进行安全检查。
昨天，日本报道了一起涉及GMO互联网的网络安全事件，此前日本金融机构遭到了一系列袭击。 整个亚洲的网络攻击浪潮凸显出本区域日益严峻的网络安全挑战，这往往是多年来网络安全薄弱造成的；不过，调查人员尚未确定事件之间的联系。
韩国金融服务委员会(FSC)，戴信证券，比通布和米拉资产全球投资公司没有立即回应征求意见的请求。

South Korea’s financial institutions have been hit by another wave of cyberattacks, highlighting the growing risk of AI-driven hacking in Asia. The latest incidents affect brokerages Daishin Securities and Mirae Asset Global Investments, as well as the crypto exchange Bithumb.
The incident comes roughly a month after a series of cyberattacks targeting South Korean financial institutions, raising concerns about vulnerabilities beyond just the country’s banking systems. Security researchers linked the September wave of attacks on South Korea to a suspected China-based hacker who relied on an AI penetration testing tool called Artex, though officials are still investigating the root cause of the latest breaches.
According to a local news, Daishin reported a cyberattack that exposed the personal information of 38,490 customers, including names, email addresses, and mobile phone numbers. The company has notified affected customers, is cooperating with authorities in the investigation, and will compensate for any losses as required by law.
Meanwhile, Mirae and Bithumb reported separate cybersecurity incidents on Wednesday, per local media, though neither has confirmed that customer data was taken.
South Korea’s financial regulator has called for stronger cybersecurity measures following a string of attacks on financial firms and government agencies, per officials in Seoul on Wednesday. The country also plans to conduct security checks on dozens of IT systems in the private sector.
Yesterday, Japan reported a cybersecurity incident involving GMO Internet, following a series of attacks on its financial institutions. The wave of cyberattacks across Asia underscore growing cybersecurity challenges in the region, often as a result of years of weak cybersecurity; though, investigators have not established a connection between the incidents.
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC), Daishin Securities, Bithumb and Mirae Asset Global Investments did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
