South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT formed a joint public-private investigation team and began a full probe into the damage and causes of a leak of member information at the online video service (OTT) Tving.
On June 3, the ministry said it held an emergency meeting of its committee that reviews hacking incident probes and agreed the incident qualifies as a major one, requiring a joint public-private team. Based on that, it formed the team after considering the large-scale leak and the possibility of additional damage. The head of the team will be the director general for information protection and network policy at the ministry.
Tving reported the hacking incident to the government on June 1. After the report, the ministry and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) asked Tving to preserve relevant data and examined the cause and the scale of damage.
In addition to the ministry and KISA, the joint public-private team includes private-sector experts in forensics and cloud services. The ministry plans to disclose the findings transparently to the public.
The ministry also issued a public security advisory through the Protect Nara website to prevent secondary 피해 such as smishing linked to misuse of leaked information.
