South Korea arrests seven in first large-scale AI-assisted hacking case

Seoul police arrested seven people for orchestrating a large-scale hacking campaign that used generative AI to break into about 90 organizations and steal 8.2 million records. The alleged ringleader, 32, taught himself hacking and added an AI coding agent and an autonomous penetration-testing tool in late August; police say he breached 60 companies in 44 days. Emails to 38 victims demanded a combined 360 million won (about $272,000), but the only confirmed payment was 300,000 won (about $210). Targets included hospitals, universities, private cram schools, golf courses and subsidiaries of large conglomerates. Police stated this size of attack once required a hacking group, and that AI now lets one person pull it off in a short time.
