Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP)
The personal information access log management system of IITP, a specialized R&D management agency under the Ministry of Science and ICT, was hacked on July 6, 2026. This incident occurred just seven months after a previous hacking incident at the same agency.
On July 6, 2026, hackers compromised IITP's personal information access log management system, which is used to track access to sensitive personal data. The breach highlights ongoing security vulnerabilities at this government-affiliated research management agency. Industry sources confirmed the hack on July 15, 2026, marking it as the second major incident at IITP within a year. The attack potentially exposes R&D data and demonstrates persistent security lapses in South Korea's government technology infrastructure.
