On September 17, Rep. Cho Jung-hoon of the People Power Party held a meeting at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, with victims of the Tving data breach.
Attendees criticized the lack of measures to recover from the data breach. One participant stated, "Although personal information has been leaked, there is no compensation for the victims," and suggested that a portion of the fines collected should be used for a victim relief fund. Another participant added, "Since the responsibility for the data breach lies with the company, they should provide compensation without requiring victims to file claims."
Rep. Cho remarked, "In South Korea, personal data is considered data, not property. I will push for measures to define it as property under civil law."
Meanwhile, Tving reported that 70 types of personal information, including IDs, passwords, and linked information (CI), were leaked. On September 3, Tving CEO Choi Joo-hee proposed compensation measures, including hacking and phishing insurance, premium viewing environments, and Tving points.
