Companies in South Korea and Japan are strengthening their cyber defences after a series of attacks. Nine South Korean banks and two large churches are investigating incidents that may have involved artificial intelligence. Japanese companies have also been affected. Experts warn that AI tools can make some attacks easier for people with limited technical skills.
Security specialists say these tools can help search for weaknesses in software and prepare convincing phishing messages. However, authorities are still investigating whether and how AI was used in many individual breaches. CrowdStrike linked a suspected attacker in the South Korean bank cases to AI assistance. That assessment does not establish the cause of every incident.
Regulators are responding as businesses review their safeguards. South Korea’s financial authorities have directed organisations and affected executives to complete a 12-point security assessment. In Japan, officials held a meeting across ministries and agencies, and the National Cybersecurity Office plans warnings to businesses. Investigations and stronger prevention measures are proceeding together.
