Ask what Korea is talking about.

Following recent hacking attacks that leaked personal data at financial and public institutions, the government has launched emergency security vulnerability inspections on about 172 private-sector key information and communications infrastructure facilities. The inspections, overseen by the Ministry of Science and ICT, cover 111 institutions managing these facilities, including the three major telecoms (SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus) and internet data center systems, with a focus on servers and web assets exposed to the external internet. Yonhap reports the presidential office also planned an emergency meeting to discuss responses to the financial-sector breaches. Lee Chan-jin, quoted by Maeil Business Newspaper, said, "Security is not recognized as a cost," urging stronger IT security.
