Sept. 17 (UPI) — Remains found at the Grand Canyon have been confirmed to be those of hiker Timothy Smith, who went missing after flash flooding in the area late last month, his wife said Thursday.

Smith, 53, who was the last hiker who went missing in the flooding, was found near Crystal Rapid on Monday, according to park officials

Carrie Smith said he was identified on Tuesday.

“My family has done a lot of waiting over the last three weeks – waiting and hoping Tim (Daddy) would come home, waiting and wondering if the remains found were Tim (Daddy),” Carrie Smith said on social media. “We no longer have to wait.”

Smith arrived at the Grand Canyon on Aug. 27 with friends John Giusti, 46, and Brent Rosenkranz, 42, “for a trip they had been eagerly anticipating,” a spokesperson for the families said.

Giusti and Rosenkranz were confirmed dead on Sept.1 by their families and the National Park Service.

The three men were from Granbury Texas, near Forth Worth, where Giusti and Rosenkranz still lived. Smith and his family lived in Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming.

The attacks, which began in early March, targeted three major banks, compromising customer accounts and siphoning small amounts of funds before the breaches were detected. Investigators say the AI systems were used to automate the reconnaissance phase, identify vulnerable points in the banks’ networks, and deploy malware that could adapt to defensive measures in real time.nnThe technical analysis revealed that the attackers employed machine‑learning algorithms to generate highly realistic phishing emails, increasing the success rate of credential theft. Once inside, the AI‑driven malware scanned for transaction authorization codes and exploited zero‑day vulnerabilities in the banks’ core banking software. The rapid, self‑learning nature of the attacks allowed the perpetrators to evade traditional security tools and reduce the window of exposure to just a few hours.nnIn response, the Korean Financial Services Commission has launched a joint investigation with the National Police Agency and the Cyber Security Center.
