The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on November 11 that it will conduct an official investigation into the damage and causes related to a security breach involving GS Engineering's apartment community facility reservation and management system.
GS Engineering reported the breach on October 29; however, the company decided to analyze the incident internally and did not agree to an investigation by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).
In response, the Ministry convened the newly established 'Incident Investigation Review Committee' under the Information and Communications Network Act, which took effect on October 1.
Based on the committee's review, the Ministry ultimately decided to proceed with the official investigation, considering the potential for data leaks and further damage.
If the investigation reveals significant issues, the Ministry plans to consult the Incident Investigation Review Committee to consider forming a joint public-private investigation team.
