Two South Korean megachurches, Yoido Full Gospel Church and Sarang Church, are investigating suspected cyberattacks that may have exposed the personal data of approximately 850,000 members. Cybersecurity firm Oasis Security discovered breach records on an overseas server, noting evidence that artificial intelligence tools, including 'sub-agents' and automated reporting, may have been employed in the attacks. The incidents follow similar cyber intrusions at South Korean commercial banks, which President Lee Jae Myung noted also showed signs of AI utilization.
