Overview

• As of noon Monday, 62 of 647 affected systems were back online, including Government24 and Korea Post’s financial platform, while the government-wide Onnara intranet remained offline.
• Korea Post resumed parcel and international mail acceptance and tracking at 9 a.m., with fresh-goods shipments and non-document EMS to the United States still suspended.
• Authorities confirmed 96 systems were damaged and will be moved to the NIRS Daegu cloud, with the vice interior minister revising the expected restoration period to about four weeks.
• Investigators say a lithium‑ion UPS battery exploded to start the blaze; the batteries were more than a decade old, out of warranty, and had been recommended for replacement in June.
• Police formed a probe team that includes lithium‑ion specialists as ministers apologized publicly and pledged to prioritize services tied to safety and economic activity ahead of the holiday period.
