Seoul to inspect 170+ IT facilities after hacking spree

South Korea's 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 in the financial and public sectors. The inspections, to be completed by year-end, target 172 facilities run by 111 organizations, including the three major telecoms and internet data centers (IDCs). The move comes after new breaches were confirmed at crypto exchange Bithumb, asset manager Mirae Asset, and Daishin Securities, where personal and credit data of 38,490 customers leaked, according to the Financial Supervisory Service. The checks also follow the discovery of a flaw in the web programming language PHP that could expose entire servers. The science ministry is leading the effort, with plans to focus on externally exposed servers and webpages to find vulnerabilities and improve security management.
