South Korean authorities have ordered SK Telecom to strengthen its data security measures following a cyberattack that resulted in the leak of 26.96 million pieces of user data. This directive mandates specific improvements to the company's information protection systems.
In addition to the security order, the country's biggest mobile carrier was also subjected to a fine. This regulatory action underscores the serious implications of the data breach and the government's response to protect user information.
The company has committed to an 'Information Protection Innovation Plan,' involving a KRW 700 billion investment over five years to build a world-class information protection system. This plan is a direct response to the incident and regulatory scrutiny.
