SEOUL, Oct. 7 (Yonhap) -- A considerable number of internet protocol (IP) addresses were found to have been used to mask those responsible for recent cyberattacks against South Korean financial institutions, sources said Wednesday.

Several financial companies, including Hana Bank, KB Kookmin Bank and Shinhan Bank, suffered back-to-back leaks of customer information in recent hacking attacks, prompting a major police investigation.

While the Financial Supervisory Service identified 28 IP addresses in connection with the attacks, police have determined a significant number of them were used to hide the hackers' whereabouts, according to the sources.

Investigators are said to be tracing the attack path through international cooperation.

The financial watchdog earlier shared the IP addresses with financial companies, along with country information, while noting the possibility of the attackers using indirect connections.

In response to the cyberattacks, the National Police Agency formed a 28-member team to investigate the case.

首尔，10月7日（韩联社）——消息人士周三表示，大量互联网协议（IP）地址被发现被用来掩盖近期针对韩国金融机构的网络攻击的责任人。

包括韩亚银行、KB国民银行和新韩银行在内的多家金融公司在最近的黑客攻击中接连遭遇客户信息泄露，引发了警方的大规模调查。

据消息人士透露，虽然金融监管局已确认与攻击有关的 28 个 IP 地址，但警方已确定其中相当一部分 IP 地址被用来隐藏黑客的行踪。

据称，调查人员正在通过国际合作追踪袭击路径。

金融监管机构此前已将 IP 地址和国家/地区信息分享给金融公司，同时指出攻击者有可能使用间接连接。

针对此次网络攻击，日本国家警察厅成立了一个由 28 名成员组成的小组来调查此案。
