ARTEX AI and Claude Agents Weaponised in Korean Bank Attacks

ATLAS OWASP CRITICAL Active exploitation · Immediate action required ▲ 9.2 BleepingComputer

A Chinese-speaking threat actor deployed the ARTEX AI agentic penetration testing suite alongside Claude Code agents and multiple LLM backends to attack major South Korean banks, exfiltrating customer data and causing system outages. The attack represents a documented real-world case of AI agents being used end-to-end in a financially motivated intrusion campaign. Exposed session histories and configuration files left in open directories enabled CrowdStrike to attribute the attack with high confidence and surface the attacker's probable identity.

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 The Hacker News

North Korean threat group Famous Chollima (Shifty Corsair) has weaponised AI-assisted code generation to embed malicious npm packages into autonomous AI agent projects, targeting cryptocurrency wallets. The campaign, dubbed PromptMink, exploited Anthropic's Claude Opus to co-author a malicious dependency commit, demonstrating a novel abuse of LLM coding agents for supply chain infiltration. The attack uses a multi-layer dependency structure to evade detection, with second-layer malicious packages swiftly rotated when identified.
