Korea launches security checks on 172 private IT facilities
The government has begun emergency security vulnerability inspections of 172 privately operated critical information and communications infrastructure facilities, run by 111 private-sector organizations, following a series of hacking attacks and personal data leaks. The inspections, which will run until year-end, target telecom operators, internet data centers, and other internet-facing assets that could be exploited by hackers, according to reports from Yonhap, Korea Times, KBS World, and Chosun Ilbo. The move comes amid back-to-back cybersecurity breaches at public institutions and financial firms, and after a vulnerability was found in the web programming language PHP that could expose entire servers. Maeil Business reports that Lee Chan-jin said, "Security is not recognized as a cost," urging stronger IT security.
