Former pentester used ARTEX AI to steal 8.2 million data records

South Korean police arrested seven suspects connected to a cybercrime operation that compromised over 90 organizations using the ARTEX artificial intelligence (AI) pentesting framework in most attacks. The operation stole approximately 8.2 million data records from victims across the country. The perpetrators included a former penetration tester.

Why it matters: Organizations in South Korea and those using ARTEX AI tools should assess whether they were among the 90 breached entities and review access logs for unauthorized pentesting activity.
