Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO) says the personal information of about 24,000 employees is exposed on an external website. The company says it becomes aware of the exposure at around 3:59 p.m. last Thursday, and that the leaked details include employees’ names, job positions and telephone numbers. KEPCO adds that sensitive information such as resident registration numbers is not included.
KEPCO says it notifies affected employees and completes deleting the leaked information by around midnight on Friday. The company also says customer information, stored in a separate system, is not compromised. The incident is presented as part of a broader pattern of corporate personal-data leaks in South Korea, following recent hacking-related incidents at major financial firms. KEPCO says it is verifying the exact cause of the exposure and that early assessment indicates it is unrelated to artificial intelligence.
