Electric vehicle charging company Chabi announced on July 26 that a data breach occurred on July 23 due to an illegal hacking attack, affecting a total of 298,333 personal information records.
Chabi reported that it immediately blocked the attack path upon discovering the breach and has notified the Personal Information Protection Commission and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).
Starting today, customers can check if their personal information has been compromised on the company's website, and notifications will be sent to affected customers on July 27.
The leaked personal information includes: 164,858 email addresses, 131,411 email and password combinations (encrypted), 1,235 records containing email, name (encrypted), contact information (encrypted), gender, and date of birth, and 829 records with email, name (encrypted), contact information (encrypted), password (encrypted), gender, and date of birth.
Chabi explained that the encrypted data is stored in a way that makes it impossible to decrypt into a readable format. Additionally, sensitive information such as resident registration numbers, passport numbers, and card or account numbers was not compromised.
The company stated, "Names, contact information, and passwords are encrypted in a way that cannot be decrypted, so they cannot be used for personal identification or login exploitation." It urged members who may be affected by the password leak to change their passwords immediately for safety reasons.
