Starting with the banking industry, many cyber attacks against South Korean financial institutions have occurred one after another, prompting the securities industry to step up defense deployments. Related measures include pre-blocking Internet protocol addresses used in the attacks and re-checking security systems. The securities industry reported on October 5 that, based on the attacker's IP address and attack characteristics information issued by the financial supervisory authority, the brokerage firm has initiated an emergency investigation of the internal computer system and actively completed the blocking of the identified hacker IP. Major brokerage firms have responded as follows: NH Investment Securities has banned IP access attacks; Samsung Securities has initiated an emergency mechanism to comprehensively review the security system; no abnormalities have been detected in future assets and securities, but monitoring and defense will continue during the holiday period. After the commercial bank was hacked, the financial supervisory authorities immediately reported the seized attackers' IPs and attack methods to the entire financial industry. Each brokerage firm immediately blocked or restricted access to the reported IP, and continued to monitor new intrusions in real time. Financial supervisory department analysis showed that seven financial institutions, including Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, Bank of Korea Asia, BNK Busan Bank, Yegaram Savings Bank, Welcome Savings Bank, and Hyundai Capital, all showed the same attack IP.
