Attackers unidentified in most hacking attacks on financial firms: lawmaker

South Korean financial companies have reported 18 suspected overseas hacking attacks since 2024, with the attackers identified in only two cases. This lack of identification suggests that the attackers are using sophisticated methods to cover their tracks. The fact that most of these attacks remain unidentified is a concern for the financial sector, as it may indicate a high level of sophistication and coordination among the attackers. This could potentially lead to increased vulnerability to cyber threats and financial losses.

Why it matters
