Police are investigating a data breach at a golf club in Gapyeong County, Gyeonggi province, that exposed personal information on an estimated 100,000 customers.
According to the Kukmin Ilbo on Saturday, the National Police Agency’s Security Investigation Command and Control Division confirmed a large-scale leak from the Lee & Lee CC website and is investigating. The number of affected people is estimated at about 100,000.
Lee & Lee CC said in a notice posted April 18 that it had confirmed customer data was leaked after a hacker inserted malicious code into its website on Oct. 21 last year.
The exposed information includes names, dates of birth, gender, user IDs, passwords, mobile and landline phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses.
Police reportedly learned of the breach while investigating major North Korean hacking groups and believe the club’s server was infected with malware distributed by the group.
