AI-powered hackers steal 8.2M records from firms
Police have busted a cybercrime ring that allegedly stole over 8 million pieces of personal information from dozens of businesses using AI, officials said Monday. Seven suspects were arrested, including the alleged mastermind, who was not an IT major but taught himself hacking with AI help. The group targeted about 90 companies, including hospitals, universities, and financial firms, and demanded money from victims by threatening to leak the data. This is the first arrest in Korea for AI-powered hacking, raising concerns about similar crimes spreading.
