Hacking Spreads Across Financial Sector... Personal Info Leaked from Capital and Savings Banks
Yegaram Savings Bank
Yegaram Savings Bank reported that an unidentified hacker accessed a server containing customer personal information, leading to a leak affecting about 40,000 customers. The incident was reported as part of a wider wave of recent attacks across South Korea’s financial sector.
The bank said the attacker accessed a server holding customer data on September 30, and the exposed information is estimated to include names, dates of birth, and contact details. The report says the breach did not involve internal systems, but it contributed to broader concern about coordinated attacks across multiple financial institutions. Authorities and regulators responded by expanding investigations and ordering security checks across banks and card companies.
