“An employee from personal credit ratings firm Korea Credit Bureau (KCB) has been arrested and accused of stealing the data from customers of three credit card firms while working for them as a temporary consultant. Seoul’s financial regulators on Sunday confirmed the number of affected users as at least 20 million, in a country of 50 million. The stolen data includes the customers’ names, social security numbers, phone numbers, and credit card numbers and expiration dates, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) said in a statement. The information was taken from the internal servers of KB Kookmin Card, Lotte Card, and NH Nonghyup Card.”
