KEPCO Also Exposes Employee Personal Information; "Customer Data Safe"

Amid a series of personal information leakage incidents in the financial sector, an accident has occurred in which the personal information of all employees at Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) was exposed.

KEPCO announced on October 1 that the names, departments, and phone numbers of all 24,000 employees were exposed on an external webpage.

However, the company explained that sensitive information such as resident registration numbers was not included, and customer information, which is managed separately in a dedicated system, was not exposed either.

"No external hacking attempts have been identified so far," KEPCO stated, adding that it is currently investigating the cause in a joint probe with relevant authorities.
