Last week some of South Korea's biggest banks were hit by a cyberattack. Thanks to a report from CrowdStrike tonight, we now know the entire hack may have been done by a single person. He used a combined stack of an open-source AI penetration tool named ARTEX, DeepSeek v4.1-Flash, GLM-5.3, Grok 4.6, and Claude Code.

The South Korean bank hack fits with this. Yes, open models are being fitted to be used by some attackers, but so long as Claude Code can be the orchestrator of a hack we desperately need open models to diffuse defense as well. A hard balance societally to stomach, but needed.
