Yes24 Ransomware Attack Paralyzes K-Pop Ticketing for Days

Yes24

A major ransomware attack locked Yes24 out of its own servers, causing a week-long service outage.

Yes24, South Korea’s largest ticketing platform, was hit by a sophisticated ransomware attack that encrypted its main and backup servers. The resulting outage lasted nearly a week, forcing concert organizers to manually verify paper tickets and causing the postponement of major K-pop events. The company later admitted that customer personal data may have been leaked during the breach.
