“Tens of thousands of South Koreans flooded banks and call centres on Tuesday to cancel their credit cards following the unprecedented theft of the personal data of at least 20 million people.  The panic has its roots in the arrest earlier this month of an employee from personal credit ratings firm Korea Credit Bureau, on charges of stealing and selling data from customers of three credit card firms while working as a temporary consultant.  All special call centres run by the three firms were busy on Tuesday and some of their websites could not be accessed at all.  Dozens of their top executives have tendered their resignations, while the government is expected to announce special measures.”
