The compensation our members seek is to receive quality matchmaking services and find a good life partner. To this end, our employees will strive with utmost dedication.
Park Soo-kyung, CEO of Duo, attended the National Assembly audit on Science, ICT and the Korea Communications Commission held at the Seoul Yeouido National Assembly building on the 6th, responding to a question from Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Hwang Jung-a asking, "What are the compensation plans and measures for the personal information leak?" She added that it is difficult to prepare a uniform compensation plan due to the nature of the service, stating, "We will provide sufficient compensation if damage caused by the personal information leak at Duo is confirmed."
According to the Personal Information Protection Commission, in January last year, a work PC used by an employee handling personal information at Duo was hacked, resulting in the external leakage of personal data for 427,464 regular members. In addition to IDs and passwords (encrypted), names, dates of birth, and resident registration numbers (encrypted), sensitive information such as home addresses, heights, weights, blood types, religions, hobbies, marriage history (first marriage or remarriage), sibling relationships, whether they are the eldest son or daughter, school names, majors, enrollment years, graduation years, school locations, employment start dates, and workplace names were also leaked.
Park said, "To convey at least some solace to affected users, we purchased phishing prevention insurance and provided points and coupons that can be used for various entertainment," adding, "We will establish measures to prevent recurrence so that the same incident does not happen again, and build a security system commensurate with global standards."
