Seoul police said Monday they arrested seven suspects who used generative AI to hack dozens of companies, hospitals, and universities, stealing over 8 million pieces of personal information and then demanding money by threatening to leak the data. The ringleader, identified as A, was not an IT major but learned hacking with AI help, according to Chosun Ilbo and Yonhap. The Korea Times reports the suspects allegedly stole more than 8 million records from dozens of businesses. Korean media emphasize the non-expert nature of the perpetrator, with Hankyung noting that hospitals and universities were also targeted.
