Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baedal Minjok, said on October 15 in response to reports that riders' personal information had been exposed that it "believes the incident occurred on a website created independently by a specific delivery agency to look up rider-related information for its own purposes."

Woowa Brothers: "Rider Information Exposure Occurred on a Delivery Agency Website Unrelated to Baedal Minjok" View original image

The controversy arose after reports said the personal information of about 200 riders appeared to have been exposed to the public without any separate authentication process. The reports said a data folder containing riders' names and phone numbers had been exposed on a website believed to be operated by a delivery agency. The website has since been shut down.



Woowa Brothers explained, "This website is not a service provided or managed by Baedal Minjok, and the agency does not have a personal information processing outsourcing relationship with Baedal Minjok."
