Calls grow for probe into KT, LG Uplus data leak allegations

Seoul YMCA urged the Personal Information Protection Commission to investigate alleged data leaks at KT and LG Uplus on Thursday, filing a formal request. “Recently, KT and LG Uplus users have been worried that their personal information may have also been leaked,” the civic group said. “This follows the government’s initial announcement in July that inspections of KT and LG Uplus showed ‘no damage.’ However, its repeated revisions — from ‘under review’ to ‘tentative data breach’ and ‘under inspection’ — have created confusion and uncertainty.” Noting that the delay in disclosing the risks of possible leakage only heightens confusion among the public and damage to the companies’ subscribers, the group claimed that the telecoms have previous track records of attempting to conceal breaches in personal information. “LG Uplus has a history of failing to disclose or delaying the reporting of personal data breaches, with incidents in 2018 and 2023. On both occasions, the company only notified the public of the leaks after receiving alerts from the Korea Intern

Science ministry to join forces with Google to tackle voice phishing

The science ministry on Thursday inked an agreement with U.S. tech giant Google LLC to make joint efforts to root out voice phishing scams through advanced detection services. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Android developer signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Seoul, announcing the launch of the Enhanced Fraud Protection (EFP), a security solution, in Korea. Government data earlier showed that the combined financial damage caused by such crimes reached 640 billion won ($460 million) in the first half of 2025, nearly double from the same period last year. The EFP program will automatically cut off applications that request access to sensitive information, including attempts made through social media messages, according to the ministry. The solution can be applied to smartphone models released after 2015 without additional installation. "Through the launch of EFP, around 35 million Android smartphone users in Korea can be protected," the ministry said. Google first launched the EFP in Singapore in February 2024, later introducing the program in other countries, including I
