South Korean officials believe AI agents were used to hack several banks

Investigators believe artificial intelligence (AI) agents were deployed in the attacks against the banks' systems.

Why it matters: South Korean financial services and their customers face exposure of personal data; practitioners at financial institutions should review intrusion detection and access logs for indicators of AI-driven reconnaissance and lateral movement.
