Ask what Korea is talking about.

Police have busted a cybercrime ring that allegedly stole over 8 million pieces of personal information from dozens of businesses using AI, with seven suspects arrested, according to Korea Times and Yonhap reports on Oct. 26. The Chosun Ilbo reports the ring stole 8.2 million records from Korean companies and demanded money by threatening to leak the data; the mastermind was not an IT major but used AI to carry out the hacks. Korean media emphasize the AI-assisted nature of the crime, with the Chosun Ilbo noting the suspect self-taught hacking with AI, highlighting a new cyber threat.
