The Korea Times reports that nearly 40 million user accounts of Korean streaming platform Tving were compromised in a significant data breach, following a hacking incident reported in June. The Ministry of Science and ICT concluded a three-month joint investigation into the breach, revealing that 39.54 million user accounts and 361 technical assets, including source code, were affected.
The compromised accounts were distributed across various registration methods, with 7.26 million registered directly with Tving, 8.63 million through CJ ONE integrated membership accounts, and 22.47 million created via social media log-in services such as Naver, Kakao, Facebook, Apple, and X. Of these, 22.06 million accounts were deemed active.
Tving has since bolstered its security measures, and no further signs of attacks have been detected.
