The Chinese developer of ARTEX has transitioned its AI agent to a closed-source project. This decision follows claims by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike that the ARTEX AI agent was implicated in hacking incidents targeting South Korean banks. The move aims to address security concerns raised by these allegations and control the software's distribution and modification more tightly.
