Financial Regulators Convene Emergency Meeting After Bank Hacks

The chairman of the Financial Services Commission, Lee Eo‑gwon, and the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, Lee Chan‑jin, scheduled an emergency session on Sunday with leaders of the affected financial institutions. The meeting, brought forward from the originally planned Wednesday, focuses on coordinated responses to the recent cyber attacks and the resulting data leaks.

Regulators aim to evaluate the immediate impact, discuss remedial measures and formulate longer‑term strategies to fortify the sector’s cyber resilience. The accelerated timetable reflects the growing concern over the spread of sophisticated attacks to additional banks.
