The hackers who recently infiltrated some of Japan’s biggest companies used an AI tool developed in China and linked to a rash of breaches at South Korean banks in September, according to a Tokyo-based Internet security firm.

Researchers confirmed that Artex, developed in China to test cyberdefences, was used in many of the recent attacks in Japan, said Daiki Fukumori, director of the cybercrime countermeasures centre at GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae Inc.

据一家总部位于东京的互联网安全公司称，最近入侵日本一些最大公司的黑客使用了中国开发的人工智能工具，该工具与9月份韩国银行发生的一系列数据泄露事件有关。

研究人员证实，中国开发的用于测试网络防御的 Artex 被用于日本最近发生的许多攻击中，Ierae 公司旗下 GMO Cyber​​security 网络犯罪对策中心主任福森大树表示。

韩国黑客攻击事件后，中国人工智能工具被撤回，以防止“滥用”。

韩国警告称，人工智能可能被用于银行黑客攻击。
