AI code logs link suspect to South Korean bank hacks
Security researchers report that logs from Anthropic's Claude Code AI tool were found on a public server, seemingly identifying a 26-year-old Chinese man as the hacker behind recent intrusions at nine South Korean banks. The logs included personal details exposed when the user asked the AI to update his resume with the attacks listed as experience. The man now claims he was framed, and China's Foreign Ministry accuses investigators of spreading false information for political reasons.
