Domestic quantum encryption and security stocks are surging on the 15th amid concerns that high-performance artificial intelligence (AI), including Anthropic's "Mythos," could be used by hackers.
As of 9:42 a.m. that day, ICTK was trading at 22,950 won, up 6,290 won (29.95%) from the previous session.
At the same time, AXGATE, Korea Computer & Systems, Photon, Satoshi Holdings, Dream Security, and Raonsecure were also hitting the upper limit (the top of the daily price band).
Earlier, Mythos, Anthropic's top-tier model, on the 7th (local time) found software vulnerabilities and succeeded in hacking. In response, the White House reportedly convened the heads of major banks and experts from relevant departments to begin work on strengthening security.
The government also plans to summon, behind closed doors, the chief executive officers of major domestic security corporations that have white-hat hackers to discuss response measures that day.
