Concerns over a surge in deadly random attacks have made popular a website providing terror alerts and updates on suspect apprehensions, with more than 50,000 visiting the site one day after its launch.
The website, named "Terrorless," was launched, Sunday, and it was issuing over 95 alerts on Thursday morning.
The website allows individuals to promptly access information about predicted terrorism locations as well as actual incidents like the recent stabbing attacks. The service includes links to media reports containing relevant details, while indicating whether the suspects connected to the cases have been arrested.
01ab, which operates the app, said it launched the service to ease escalating public concerns over random attacks in the wake of stabbings at Sillim Station in Seoul and Seohyeon Station in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province. In addition, the emergence of copycat crime threats were also a reason for the website's launch.
On July 21, a man wielding a knife went on a rampage near Sillim Station in southern Seoul killing one and injuring three. A similar incident took place at Seohyeon Station, Aug. 3, leaving one dead and 13 injured.
As of Thursday, eight suspects have been arrested on charges of posting murder threats online.
