More than 1,600 personal information of people who applied for the SK Group recruitment test was leaked. Experts believe that the information leaked due to an administrator's mistake rather than someone hacking it.
Correspondent Kim Ki-tae reported.
<Reporter>
Personal information of applicants was leaked through Google searches, so-called Google searches.
If you searched by combining SKCT, the SK Group recruitment test, and some personal information, you could see the personal information of about 1,600 people containing seven items, including names, dates of birth, test results by area, and application companies.
A problem has occurred on the site of the administrator of the evaluation agency that operates SKCT, a group recruitment test.
SK became aware of this fact through a report from an outsider on the 4th.
The personal information of about 1,300 people was confirmed by the reporter and deleted without any major leakage, but the fact that the information of the remaining 300 people was leaked was confirmed through log records, etc.
SK apologized to the applicants, saying, "Immediately block the search so that it cannot be searched" and "will strengthen the inspection of the examination record management."
Experts believe that there is a high possibility of management mistakes based on the fact that it is exposure through search rather than website leakage due to hacking.
[Seung-Joo Kim/Professor, Graduate School of Information Security, Korea University: Once a website is created, it does not stay there, but changes little by little.
When an update occurs, there are many cases where we do not care about privacy and just do it.
That's why it's accidentally leaked.] The
Personal Information Protection Committee set out to find out the facts to check whether SK took proper safety measures to secure the website.
