Gov't to inspect 170+ critical IT facilities

The government is launching security vulnerability checks on more than 170 privately operated critical information and communications infrastructure facilities, following a series of cyberattacks and personal data leaks at financial and public institutions. The inspections, led by the Ministry of Science and ICT, target 172 facilities managed by 111 organizations, including the three major telecom companies and internet data centers (IDCs), and are set to run until the end of the year. The move comes amid recent hacking incidents and a vulnerability in the web programming language PHP that could allow attackers to take over servers entirely. Yonhap reports the government will focus on servers and webpages exposed to external attacks to identify weaknesses and improve security management systems.
