The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) has initiated an investigation into a data breach involving the online video service TVING.
On June 4, the PIPC announced that it had received a report of the data breach from TVING and has begun examining the circumstances surrounding the incident and the extent of the damage.
TVING reported the breach after discovering unauthorized access to its database, which led to the potential exposure of personal information.
The compromised data is believed to include user IDs, names, birth dates, genders, connection information (CI), duplicate membership confirmation information (DI), mobile phone numbers, email addresses, refund account numbers, and passwords.
According to TVING's preliminary assessment, an unidentified hacker accessed the database containing personal information and transmitted related files externally, resulting in the breach.
The PIPC plans to confirm the specifics of the breach and the extent of the damage through document requests and on-site investigations. Additionally, it will check compliance with safety measures and obligations regarding the notification and reporting of personal data breaches, as mandated by the Personal Information Protection Act.
