South Korean police have arrested a cyberhacking gang allegedly led by a self-taught hacker who is said to have used AI tools to breach around 60 companies. Despite the scale of the attacks, the group reportedly collected only about $210 in ransom, drawing attention to how little profit the operation actually yielded.

Why now: The unusual combination of AI-assisted hacking and the strikingly low ransom take is drawing attention to evolving cybercrime methods.
