The Korean Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission has reported a data breach involving its online education platform, resulting in the exposure of personal information for over 100,000 users.
 
According to a report by Yonhap News on October 6, a government official revealed that the breach occurred last month, affecting users of the Integrity Education Center managed by the commission.
 
The platform is designed for public officials and staff from private schools to receive online integrity training.
 
The leaked data reportedly includes usernames, passwords, names, genders, and job titles.
 
The incident was caused by a hacking attack on the server of the agency that operated the platform, which also compromised data from various other institutions.
