South Korea’s financial industry hit by fresh wave of cyberattacks

South Korean financial institutions have been hit by another wave of cyberattacks, affecting brokerages Daishin Securities and Mirae Asset Global Investments and crypto exchange Bithumb, about a month after a series of attacks on the country's financial institutions. Daishin reported an attack that exposed personal information of 38,490 customers, including names, email addresses and mobile phone numbers, while Mirae and Bithumb reported separate incidents without confirming customer data was taken. South Korea's financial regulator called for stronger cybersecurity measures and the country plans security checks on dozens of private-sector IT systems.
