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 university in the class of '70, was also among those whose information was leaked.

The data leak is known 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 isolating the network.

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

In an apology, Sogang University stated that it is taking the matter very seriously and will conduct a fundamental reassessment to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
