Ask what Korea is talking about.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups confirmed on Friday that personal information of 818 participants in the second round of its 'Everyone's Startup' program was leaked after a hacking attack on Amicus Rex, one of 50 private AI solution suppliers supporting the program. The leaked data includes names, phone numbers, and email addresses, according to Yonhap and other outlets. This is the second breach in the same program, following a June leak of 5,000 participants' email addresses and startup ideas. The Chosun Ilbo reports the attack occurred at 8:30 a.m. on the 11th, and the Dong-A Ilbo criticizes the ministry for not changing the platform operator after the first incident, calling its response lax.
