South Korean police launch pre-filing investigation into hacking incidents at securities firms and crypto asset exchanges.

Previously, 16 financial institutions, including KB Kookmin Bank, were also targeted by hackers, resulting in the leak of approximately 100,000 pieces of personal information such as national ID numbers, account numbers, and addresses. Police stated they would compare the modus operandi in the new and previous cases to verify any connections, without ruling out the possibility that the same attacker was responsible.
