  1. > Police have counted over 30 million accounts affected in the massive customer data breach at e-commerce giant Coupang — roughly 10,000 times more than the 3,000 accounts the company claimed when it disclosed the incident last month.

    >“The number of compromised records containing names, emails and other information is over 30 million, based on account count,” said Park Jeong-bo, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, during a regular press briefing on Monday. “Coupang said only 3,000 accounts were leaked, but far more data was actually compromised.”

  2. You mean it’s not just the 3,000 Coupang claimed after finding that “convenient” laptop? Shocking…

    Does Korea do class action lawsuits? I am currently a part of a couple of lawsuits in Australia against companies that were data breached, and I’m expecting more than w50k without doing further business with them.
