The personal information of approximately 5,000 Kia union members was leaked through a contractor for the OnLINE education platform.
According to the Kia Union on the 7th, personal data including the names, employee numbers, and phone numbers of union members at the Gwangmyeong Plant was leaked during a hacking incident involving Marensoft that occurred on the 19th of last month. The union had entrusted Marensoft with system and server management for the OnLINE education program.
Through a text message sent to its members, the union stated, "The Daejeon-ification numbers and passwords were stored in an encrypted state, so the actual numbers and passwords were not directly exposed." It added, "No additional damage resulting from this incident has been identified to date," noting that "the contractor has blocked external attacks and completed server security measures, and has reported the incident to the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Personal Information Protection Commission for further inspection."
