Overview
- Seoul police conducted a search-and-seizure at Coupang’s headquarters to secure evidence, deploying 17 officers from the cyber investigation unit.
- Coupang says exposed data includes names, contact details, delivery addresses, shared entry codes and some order histories, while payment data and passwords were not taken, and police report no confirmed secondary harm.
- Authorities trace unauthorized access to overseas servers from June 24 to Nov. 8, with the company detecting suspicious activity and disclosing the incident late last month.
- Regulators directed Coupang to label the incident a breach and clarify affected data, prompting a revised notice on Dec. 7, as the presidential office urged preventive measures and clear compensation commitments.
- SJKP, the U.S. branch of Daeryun, announced plans to file a class-action seeking punitive damages against Coupang’s U.S. headquarters, while scrutiny grows over the firm’s 1 billion won data-liability insurance cap.
