Hackers reportedly used AI tools to target 9 South Korean banks. One person may be behind several attacks

This week, OpenAI had to apologize to the Australian government. Because its AI agents had entered government websites without permission. At least nine banks in South Korea have reportedly been targeted in cyberattacks, and AI may have helped the attacker move faster. These banks included Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin And Hana Bank who reported data leaks of its customers personal information. What amazed me was the attacker’s smartness who chose not to go after banks’ main payment systems rather targeted smaller systems used by employees and outside companies, where society was weaker. For me, the bigger issue here is how quickly AI can change the scale of a cyberattack. If one person can use these tools to identify weaknesses across multiple organisations, security teams have even less room to overlook the smaller systems connected to their networks. This is also where AI governance comes in. Watch the latest video @ Latha-ai-governance to find out what happened. This YouTube channel is for education industry professionals about the importance of AI Governance. My question for you: Do you think incidents like this will push organisations to take AI governance more seriously, or will cybersecurity teams end up carrying most of the responsibility?
