BNK Busan Bank stated, "At around 4:30 a.m. on the 2nd, we confirmed that the personal information of 11 outsourced development employees, including their names, phone numbers, dates of birth, and email addresses, was leaked on a web page."


The bank is giving considerable weight to the possibility that the incident was caused by a hacking attack targeting its internal employee mobile sales support systems and other platforms.
