CrowdStrike points to 26-year-old in China over South Korea bank cyberattacks

Original: The suspect behind recent cyberattacks targeting South Korea's financial sector may be a 26-year-old based in China's Gu

U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike says the suspect behind recent cyberattacks targeting South Korea's financial sector may be a 26-year-old based in China's Guangdong province. The attribution is drawing attention because it links attacks on South Korean banks and financial institutions to an individual reportedly operating from Chinese territory, raising questions about cross-border cybercrime and cooperation between Seoul, Washington and Beijing.

Why now: The attribution of attacks on South Korea's financial sector to a specific young individual in China is new and sensitive, touching on cybersecurity and diplomacy.
