MyRealTrip data breach exposes passport numbers
MyRealTrip, a South Korean travel platform, confirmed on Oct. 29 that an unauthorized outsider accessed its system on Oct. 25, leaking user personal information. The Dong-A Ilbo reports that for some users, sensitive data including passport numbers was exposed, while MyRealTrip did not disclose the exact number of victims or the intrusion path. Maeil Business Newspaper adds that leaked items include names, contact details, and for some, passport numbers and expiration dates. The breach is part of a broader wave: Yonhap reports Daishin Securities leaked data on 38,490 customers, and KBS World notes Mirae Asset Global Investments and crypto exchange Bithumb also reported breaches, prompting authorities to launch an inspection. Korean media coverage has focused on the severity of passport data loss, with Maeil Business Newspaper quoting user anxiety: "What if I get denied entry?"
