South Korea is investigating confirmed data breaches at Shinhan, Kookmin, and Hana banks amid suspected AI-assisted attacks.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission held an emergency meeting after cyber incidents at major banks and confirmed a data breach at Shinhan Bank. Local reports say Shinhan exposed details of about 25,000 customers and KB Kookmin Bank leaked credit-card information for 119,000 clients, while Hana Bank suffered a limited compromise of a sales-support system.
