The hacker suspected of infiltrating some of South Korea’s largest banks this month may have used artificial intelligence (AI) tools to carry out the attacks from China, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike says, shedding new light on an incident that’s shaken the nation’s financial sector.

The person used Anthropic’s Claude to conduct research and create a resume that likely belonged to the perpetrator of the cyber-intrusion, the US firm said. The profile identified the alleged attacker as a 26-year-old based in Guangdong, it said.

网络安全公司 CrowdStrike 表示，涉嫌本月入侵韩国几家最大银行的黑客可能使用了人工智能 (AI) 工具从中国发动攻击，这为这起震动韩国金融界的事件提供了新的线索。

美国公司Anthropic表示，有人利用其Claude软件进行调查并创建了一份简历，这份简历很可能属于网络入侵的肇事者。该公司称，该个人资料显示，涉嫌攻击者是一名居住在广东的26岁男子。

韩国警告称，人工智能可能被用于银行黑客攻击。
