It has come to light that personal information belonging to 40 customers was leaked from a groupware hacking incident at Flybit, a small domestic virtual asset exchange.
According to the virtual asset industry on the 12th, Korean Digital Asset Exchange, the operator of Flybit, posted an apology statement on its website and disclosed that personal information of 40 customers had been leaked due to unauthorized external access. The statement was first posted on the 5th and revised on the 10th.
The leaked items identified by the exchange include individual names, resident registration numbers, contact information, as well as corporate business names and business registration numbers. As for the intrusion path, the exchange pointed to groupware supplied by Dawoo Technology that was used by exchange employees.
The exchange explained that a mailbox within the groupware was compromised, causing a list of individuals subject to tax information provision requests from tax authorities, which had been stored there, to leak externally. It further disclosed, "We recognized abnormal intrusion circumstances through an email sent by an unauthorized external company and immediately began an inspection, confirming that our emails had been compromised."
The exchange stated, "After verifying the relevant intrusion information with the groupware operator, we confirmed that personal and corporate information regarding individuals related to taxation, requested from institutional investors in connection with tax collection, had been leaked," adding, "We have requested an investigation from the Cyber Investigation Team of the National Police Agency and plan to send emails or text messages to individuals whose contact information was among the leaked personal data." It also drew a line by stating, "There was no intrusion into internal systems, and customer assets are safely stored."
Flybit is one of the domestic exchanges that holds VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) qualifications. Unlike the top five exchanges supporting won trading (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, DigitalX, and Gopax), it only supports coin-to-coin trading.
