South Korea declares AI-driven bank hacks a national crisis

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung declared that artificial intelligence tools were likely used in a recent wave of cyberattacks against major commercial banks, prompting a full-scale police investigation and emergency government response. The breaches exposed customer data at seven financial institutions, including Shinhan Bank and KB Kookmin Bank, but no funds were reported stolen. Authorities suspect attackers targeted less secure third-party portals rather than core banking systems, using AI to identify vulnerabilities. The incident has triggered a 24-hour emergency response from the science ministry and calls for AI-based defensive measures.

Seoul demands apology after Zelenskyy’s UN speech breaches secrecy pact on North Korean POWs

South Korea has formally demanded an apology and official explanation from Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly disclosed the transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers to Seoul at the UN General Assembly. Seoul argues this violated a confidentiality agreement designed to protect the prisoners' families from North Korean reprisals. Kyiv denies any such pact existed at the presidential level, while Seoul’s intelligence agency suspects the disclosure was a strategic move to pressure South Korea into providing lethal weapons.

South Korea's Local Elections Hover as a Referendum on Leader Lee Jae Myung

South Korea heads to local elections that will determine mayors, governors and councils across eight provinces and eight major cities, seen as a barometer of President Lee Jae Myung’s popularity. The Democratic Party leads in polls, with Seoul and Busan pegged as pivotal battlegrounds; conservatives have lost ground since martial law under former president Yoon Suk Yeol, while turnout—especially among younger voters—could tilt results despite broad approval of Lee and his government’s economic and reform measures.
