Some users’ personal information was leaked from Kakao’s enterprise collaboration platform KakaoWork due to an external hacking attack.
The industry said on Thursday that DK Techin, the operator of KakaoWork, confirmed on Nov. 9 that an external attacker gained abnormal access to the KakaoWork system and leaked some users’ personal information. The leaked information was said to include users’ names, contact details and email addresses.
DK Techin moved to respond urgently, blocking external access routes and strengthening system security after identifying signs of the leak. It is checking the relevant systems and investigating the possibility of additional leaks and the exact scale of damage.
DK Techin also urged caution about possible secondary damage that could exploit the incident. It said users should beware of phishing attacks via text messages or emails impersonating KakaoWork, as well as unverified internet addresses and attachments.
It called for particular caution not to respond to messages requesting sensitive information such as passwords or authentication codes.
