Gov't launches security checks on 170 private IT sites

Following recent hacking attacks and personal data leaks at financial and public institutions, the government has begun vulnerability inspections on around 170 private-sector key information and communication infrastructure facilities. The inspections, led by the Ministry of Science and ICT, target 111 institutions managing these facilities, focusing on servers and webpages exposed to external attacks to identify weaknesses and improve security management systems. Yonhap reports the move comes amid back-to-back cybersecurity breaches at public institutions.
