首尔，10月9日 - ARTEX的中国开发者表示，在网络安全公司确认该工具被用于近期针对韩国银行的网络攻击活动后，他们已将这款AI代理转为闭源项目。“鉴于该工具被滥用，ARTEX项目将不再更新，并将转为闭源。不会向公众发布更多版本，也不会提供维护支持，”这位使用GitHub账号“Autumn-27”的开发者周四在该代码托管平台上表示。
SEOUL, Oct 9 - The Chinese developer of ARTEX said they have converted the AI agent to a closed-source project after cybersecurity firms identified it as a tool used in a recent cyberattack campaign against South Korean banks "Given the misuse of the tool, the ARTEX project will no longer be updated and will be converted to closed source. No further versions will be released to the public nor will maintenance support be provided," the developer, who uses the GitHub handle "Autumn-27", said on the code-hosting platform on Thursday.
他们表示，ARTEX的最初目的是帮助企业和组织进行安全风险测试，提升其安全能力。
They said the original aim of ARTEX was to help enterprises and organizations conduct security risk testing and improve their security capabilities.
在未明确提及韩国银行遭攻击事件的情况下，他们表示反对对该软件的任何非法使用，并对违反法律法规的行为不承担任何责任。根据路透社的核查，ARTEX的GitHub页面已被下架。
Without explicitly addressing the South Korean bank attacks, they said they opposed any illegal use of the software and bore no responsibility for conduct that violates laws and regulations. ARTEX's Github page has been taken down, according to Reuters' checks.

ARTEX于今年在GitHub上发布，是一款旨在自动化渗透测试的开源AI代理。它不是一个独立的大语言模型，而是连接ChatGPT、Claude和DeepSeek等外部大语言模型，帮助组织测试其网络中的漏洞。
Released on GitHub this year, ARTEX is an open-source AI agent designed to automate penetration testing. It is not a standalone large language model but connects to external LLMs such as ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek to help organisations test for vulnerabilities in their networks.
