Sogang University stated that the leaked personal information consists of 180,000 integrated account records belonging to current students, alumni, and faculty members.

The leaked data includes names, mobile phone numbers, and email addresses.

It was reported that former President Park Geun-hye, who entered the class of '70, was also among those whose information was leaked.

The data leak is believed to have taken place on the 11th. Sogang University announced that it detected signs of an attack by an unauthorized external IP yesterday (the 14th), three days later, and took emergency measures such as blocking the IP and implementing network separation.

However, the university explained that it has determined sensitive information such as resident registration numbers and passport numbers was not leaked.

Through an apology statement, Sogang University said it is taking the matter very seriously and will conduct a fundamental re-inspection to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
