Govt to inspect 170 IT facilities after hacking attacks

The government is launching large-scale vulnerability inspections on about 170 private-sector key IT infrastructures, following recent hacking attacks and personal data breaches at financial and public institutions. The inspections, led by the science ministry, will target 111 institutions managing these facilities, focusing on servers and webpages exposed to external attacks, according to Yonhap and other Korean outlets. The presidential office also planned an emergency meeting to discuss responses to the financial-sector hacking incidents, Yonhap reports. Korean media coverage is largely factual, with outlets like Chosun Ilbo and Maeil Business reporting the same details of the inspection plan and its scope.
