This is the website of the conference hosted by a research institute under the Korea Forest Service.



Drug advertisements are on the bulletin board where questions about the meeting should be posted.



There are more than 1,000 crime-related articles including slang words for various drugs in the title, and even tradable SNS IDs.



I contacted the ID saying that drug dealing is possible.



"It can only be traded in virtual currency," and shows the price and even a photo of real drug certification.



Free bulletin board for special-purpose university departments under the Ministry of Science and ICT.



It's hard to tell if it's a 'crime bulletin board' or a 'school bulletin board'.



There are tens of thousands of articles on illegal gambling sites as well as articles on prostitution and illegal drugs.



[School official: (for compatibility test) After making a sample (Bulletin Board), if it goes well (if the website is compatible), you have to delete it, but it seems that you forgot to delete it.]



It is not just a problem with these two places .



The reporters checked about 20 Internet bulletin boards in public institutions such as government ministries and local public corporations.



Most of the texts are written in macros, and they are written for the purpose of randomly posting criminal articles on an Internet bulletin board and exposing them to portal sites.



Although the Korea Communications Standards Commission has requested to block 114,000 harmful postings in the first half of this year alone, even the bulletin boards of government agencies, which should be managed first, are covered with harmful messages.



[Kim Young-sik / Member of the National Assembly Science and Communication Commission: Even the website of public institutions is covered with drug dealing text.

In order to protect the public from illegal and harmful information, the vigilance committee must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible and take strong sanctions.]



The vigilance committee notifies the bulletin board management operator when a 'correction request' is determined for illegal postings, and the operator is unclear. In one case, they said they were working on getting it done through a hosting provider.
