South Korea’s president says there are signs AI was used in a wave of hacks that exposed more than 68,000 records at seven lenders, including Shinhan, KB Kookmin and Hana.

On 27 August 2026 OpenAI published an open letter titled “A call for collective action on cyber defense” and put 128 organisations behind it, including Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, AWS, IBM, Oracle and most of the cybersecurity industry.
