Hana Bank Also Breached by AI Hacking... Personal Information of 89 People Leaked

Following Shinhan Bank and KB Kookmin Bank, customer information has been leaked due to a hack at Hana Bank, resulting in an unprecedented incident where the banking sector as a whole has been exposed to AI hacking attacks.

Hana Bank announced today (October 2) that "it has been determined that the information of 89 people (resident registration numbers, names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, mobile numbers, and employer names) was leaked through external hacking forces."

Hana Bank explained, "This stemmed from abnormal access attempted by an external hacking agent targeting our bank's 영업지원시스템(ODS)." It added, "This system is a channel separate from internet and mobile banking transaction systems, and it has been confirmed that there is no relation to the leakage of customers' financial transaction information."

Hana Bank is in the process of individually notifying affected customers and plans to provide full compensation in accordance with relevant regulations if actual damage occurs due to the information leak in the future.

Hana Bank stated, "We take this incident very seriously, and we will do our utmost to thoroughly investigate the cause in close cooperation with related organizations and prepare measures to prevent recurrence," adding, "We deeply apologize for causing concern to our customers."

Previously, Shinhan Bank announced the previous day that the personal information of approximately 25,000 customers was leaked in an incident where a telecommunications-specific structure (code) was hacked without authorization.

KB Kookmin Bank announced on this day that the personal information of 119 customers was leaked.

The Financial Services Commission held an emergency response meeting in the financial sector chaired by Shin Jin-chang, secretary-general, on this day to share recent financial company information leak incidents, attack types, and methods, and instructed banks and the credit card industry to conduct their own security inspections.
