The police plan to focus their investigative efforts on determining how the personal information was leaked and assessing the actual scale of the damage. In addition, the police intend to analyze related materials and track down any individuals or organizations involved in the leak.

This incident surfaced after it was revealed that sensitive personal information—including customer names, contact information, and addresses—had been leaked externally from the CU convenience store parcel delivery service, operated by BGF Networks.

The police will verify the overall facts of the case through the preliminary inquiry, and if any legal violations are found, they will consider launching a full-scale investigation.
