[The Financial News] Personal information belonging to about 67,000 members was leaked from Discovery of Play, a family leisure platform operated by Woongjin Compass, an affiliate of Woongjin ThinkBig Co., Ltd.
According to the education industry on the 21st, Woongjin Compass announced that it had confirmed that an unauthorized external party illegally accessed its service management system and viewed member information from 6:45 p.m. on the 18th until 12:50 a.m. on the 19th.
The leaked information included members’ nicknames, mobile phone numbers and email addresses. Passwords and payment information were not included.
Woongjin Compass detected unusual activity on the morning of the 19th and blocked the hacker’s access. It then changed the passwords for administrator accounts and suspended the use of suspicious accounts. The company plans to introduce two-factor authentication for administrator accounts and strengthen access controls.
Members whose personal information was leaked are being notified individually by text message and email.
A Woongjin Compass representative said, “We are taking steps to prevent further harm and conducting a company-wide review of our security systems,” adding, “We will further strengthen personal information protection and security management.”
