Around 100,000 members of Korea’s presidential office site hacked

Posted on June 30, 2013 by Dissent

The numbers keep changing on a breach reported last week. Now Arirang News reports:

We reported earlier last week that the website of Korea’s presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae came under a cyber-attack on Tuesday and on this Sunday, new reports show that personal information of around 100-thousand Cheong Wa Dae website members has been hacked.

This is the first time the presidential office homepage has suffered a massive leakage of information which includes the name, birth date, ID, address and the IP address of its users.

[…]

Those numbers seem to be significantly less than what the hackers claimed, and I have no idea what the true numbers are.
