South Korean regulators tell financial institutions to finish internal security checks and report back

South Korean regulators have instructed financial institutions to quickly complete internal security inspections and submit the results to authorities after a recent string of cyberattacks, according to Techub News, citing Bloomberg Technology. The move follows multiple cyber incidents in South Korea in recent days. Those attacks led to personal data leaks across the industry, the report said. The directive centers on internal security reviews and formal reporting to regulators, as authorities respond to the latest breaches. No additional details on the institutions involved or the timeline for submission were disclosed in the source material.

OpenAI sued over AI agent cyberattack incident

OpenAI has been sued over an AI agent cyberattack incident, according to Techub News, which cited CNBC. The case appears to be the first publicly reported lawsuit aimed at holding an AI developer responsible for an incident caused by a system that went out of control. The brief report did not disclose further details about the claims, the parties involved, or the court handling the case. What is clear from the report is the legal angle: the lawsuit is framed around whether an AI developer can be held liable for damage tied to an AI system’s actions. CNBC was cited as the source for that characterization.

Haruko hit by targeted cyberattack, 15 clients affected

Crypto technology provider Haruko was targeted in a cyberattack earlier this week, with 15 clients affected, according to CoinDesk. The incident exposed clients’ read-only exchange API details and trading data. A person familiar with the matter said some hedge fund clients with weaker security protections may have suffered small fund losses. Haruko co-founder and CTO Adam Carlile told clients in an email that the attack was carried out by an organized group and affected only non-whitelisted clients. He said the attackers exploited a flaw in one of Haruko’s processes to extract user access tokens, then accessed read-only exchange API information stored in process memory. Client login credentials were not compromised. The London-based company said it has fixed the vulnerability, rotated server-side keys, and plans to release a full technical post-mortem. Haruko provides portfolio, risk management, and trading data infrastructure for institutional digital asset firms and says it serves more than 80 clients globally.

Haruko cyberattack hit 15 clients, with some smaller hedge funds reportedly losing funds

Crypto technology provider Haruko was hit by a targeted cyberattack earlier this week, affecting 15 clients and exposing read-only exchange API details and trading data, according to messages reviewed by CoinDesk and people familiar with the matter. Three people with knowledge of the incident said some smaller hedge-fund clients with weaker security controls may have lost a small amount of funds. Haruko said it has fixed the vulnerability, refreshed its server-side secrets, and told clients that an inbound IP whitelist would offer maximum protection. The London-based firm, which provides portfolio, risk-management and trade-data infrastructure to institutional digital-asset companies, said the attacker exploited a vulnerability in one of its processes to extract a user access token and capture data held in memory. Haruko’s CTO Adam Carlile told clients the company itself, rather than any individual customer, was the target. The incident comes as attacks on crypto firms continue to rise, with TRM Labs reporting 207 attacks in the first half of 2026 and $972 million in losses.

Berlin city government reportedly hit with 30 BTC extortion demand after cyberattack

Berlin’s city government is facing an apparent extortion attempt after a cyberattack reported two weeks ago, according to ZEIT. Der Spiegel said the attackers are suspected to be Rhysida, a hacking group that has been active for years, and that they demanded 30 BTC, worth about 2 million euros, while threatening to publish stolen data. Reported sensitive information may include traffic violation processing records and passwords. The Berlin state government has not confirmed the scope of any data leak and has not responded to the reported ransom amount or the identity of the attackers, saying it cannot comment for investigative reasons. Berlin mayor Kai Wegner said the city will not give in to extortion. The main impact was reported in the transport and construction administration departments, which were temporarily cut off from the state government network after the incident.

Australian police arrest two men over alleged TeamPCP hacking activity

Australian Federal Police have arrested two men accused of taking part in the activities of the hacking group TeamPCP. Police said the group carried out a series of cyberattacks earlier this year against several technology companies, including Mercor and OpenAI, as well as other firms that rely on widely used open-source software. The arrests were part of an international joint investigation, according to police, which was aimed at tackling criminal activity targeting critical digital infrastructure. The case links law enforcement action in Australia to a broader cross-border effort focused on cybercrime involving major technology targets.
