South Korea’s financial industry was hit by a second wave of cyberattacks in about a month as a series of breaches across Asia heightens concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) is making large-scale hacking easier.

Financial Supervisory Service Governor Lee Chan-jin said on Oct 28 that some of South Korea’s major financial investment companies had suffered widespread hacking the previous day. He urged the industry to strengthen security, without identifying the affected companies.

韩国金融业在一个月内遭受了第二波网络攻击，与此同时，亚洲各地发生的一系列数据泄露事件加剧了人们对人工智能 (AI) 使大规模黑客攻击变得更容易的担忧。

韩国金融监督院院长李灿镇10月28日表示，韩国部分大型金融投资公司前一天遭受了大范围黑客攻击。他敦促业界加强安全措施，但并未透露受影响公司的具体名称。

GMO表示，入侵韩国银行的人工智能工具也曾在日本使用。

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。
