Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has identified a potential suspect, a 26-year-old in China's Guangdong province, behind recent cyberattacks targeting South Korea's financial sector. The firm's report linked the attacks to AI coding tools like ARTEX and Claude Code, suggesting the actor is likely Chinese-speaking and financially motivated.
