This Hacker is legendary. A complete amateur

A single amateur hacker, identified as a student at South China University of Technology in Guangdong, allegedly carried out last week's cyberattack on some of South Korea's biggest banks using the open-source AI penetration tool ARTEX and DeepSeek, according to a CrowdStrike report.
