  1. KEPCO personal data of about 24,000 employees leaked; president apologises in National Assembly

    Personal data of about 24,000 Korea Electric Power Corporation employees was leaked. President Kim Dong-cheol apologised on Oct 19 at a National Assembly Climate, Energy, Environment and Labour Committee audit, saying partner-company management and information security would be improved. He said the National Intelligence Service Gwangju branch notified the company around 3:59 pm on Oct 1 that employee data was exposed on a private cloud webpage; internal systems were blocked, an emergency team stood up, and the cloud provider was told to delete the data and page. The NIS, Personal Information Protection Commission and Jeollanam-do police are investigating possible partner leaks and external hacking.
