首尔：韩国总统李在明就近期银行、金融企业和公共机构发生的个人数据泄露事件下令展开全面调查并采取应对措施。韩国总统府周日（10月4日）表示、金融服务委员会（FSC）主席李彦焕周日与金融行业协会、监管机构及受影响机构的高管召开紧急会议。FSC在声明中警告，金融行业必须以最高等级保持警惕。
SEOUL: South Korean President Lee Jae Myung ordered a thorough investigation and response measures over recent personal data leak incidents at banks, finance companies and public agencies, Seoul's presidential office said on Sunday (Oct 4). Financial Services Commission (FSC) Chairman Lee Eog-weon convened an emergency meeting with financial industry associations, regulators and executives from affected institutions on Sunday, warning that the sector must respond with the highest level of vigilance, the FSC said in a statement.
FSC主席李彦焕表示，监管当局无法排除攻击过程中使用人工智能的可能性，并主张采取“以人工智能防御人工智能攻击”的应对策略，同时释放出进一步升级金融行业网络安全体系的信号。
The FSC's Lee said authorities could not rule out the possibility that artificial intelligence was used in the attacks and called for an "AI attacks defended by AI" approach, while also signalling broader upgrades to the financial sector's cybersecurity framework.
这次会议是在周五举行类似会议后召开的。FSC周五表示，新韩银行、KB国民银行等机构已报告遭受网络攻击；韩联社则报道称，韩亚银行和友利银行也发生了安全事件。周日处于非工作时段，媒体无法立即联系这些银行置评。
Sunday's meeting came after similar talks on Friday, when the FSC said Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank and others had reported cyberattacks, while Yonhap news agency reported that Hana Bank and Woori Bank had also suffered breaches. The banks could not immediately be reached for comment outside regular working hours on Sunday.
金融监管机构表示，在新韩银行9月30日报告发生安全事件后，当局已启动现场调查，并将调查范围扩大至其他已报告的事件。
The financial regulator said authorities had launched on-site investigations after Shinhan Bank reported a breach on Sep 30 and had since expanded probes into other reported incidents.
监管机构要求金融机构开展全面安全检查、收紧访问控制、尽量减少外部系统访问权限，并加强消费者保护措施。
The regulator directed financial institutions to carry out comprehensive security inspections, tighten access controls, minimise external system access and strengthen consumer protection measures.
监管机构还表示，将在金融行业内部迅速共享攻击方式、互联网协议地址及其他威胁信息，防止类似事件再次发生。
It also said attack methods, internet protocol addresses and other threat information would be rapidly shared across the industry to prevent further incidents.
韩联社报道称，监管机构认为，此次攻击可能是对多家金融公司进行大范围扫描以寻找漏洞，而非针对某一家机构。
Yonhap news agency said regulators believe the attacks may have broadly scanned multiple financial companies for vulnerabilities rather than targeting a single institution.
韩联社援引提交给议员的银行数据称，攻击流量据称来自包括美国、日本、新加坡、越南和英国在内的多个国家的IP地址。
Attack traffic was reported to have originated from IP addresses across several countries including the United States, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam and Britain, Yonhap said, citing bank data submitted to lawmakers.
据韩国多家媒体报道，在发现二级金融机构又遭入侵后，原定于10月7日举行的周日上午紧急会议提前举行。
Sunday's emergency meeting was brought forward from Oct 7 after additional breaches were discovered at second-tier financial institutions, according to multiple Korean media reports.
韩国主要反对党国民力量党表示，当局还应调查朝鲜介入的可能性，并援引过去归因于平壤的针对韩国金融机构的网络攻击作为依据。
The country's main opposition People Power Party said authorities should also investigate the possibility of North Korean involvement, citing past cyberattacks attributed to Pyongyang against South Korean financial institutions.
