Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's financial regulator said 37 financial firms reported 40 cyberattacks over the past month, exposing about 473,000 personal data records and resulting in about 1 billion won ($745,000) in stolen funds, Yonhap and other outlets reported on Nov. 5. The Financial Services Commission, chaired by Lee Bok-hyun, announced a full inspection of security at about 580 financial companies, according to Dong-a Ilbo. The leaks hit banks, brokerages, insurers, and crypto exchanges, with Daishin Securities alone exposing 38,490 customers' names, emails, and phone numbers on Oct. 28, the Korea Times reported. No sensitive data like passwords has been confirmed leaked, and no individual customer funds have been lost, KBS WORLD noted. Korean media highlighted public anxiety, with Maeil Business Newspaper quoting consumers' fears that "I've probably already been robbed too," as authorities ramp up consumer protection measures.
