  "summary": "Coupang Inc., the U.S.-listed e-commerce giant, experienced disruptions to its services, including shopping, food delivery, and streaming platforms, around midnight on October 9 due to an error that occurred during an update. Users were unable to access Coupang, Coupang Eats, and Coupang Play, with only a message asking them to try again later. The issue persisted, causing problems with logging in and affecting the company's logistics platform for delivery drivers. Coupang's platforms resumed functioning normally around 2:30 a.m. The company acknowledged the error, stating it occurred during a service upgrade and that the issue had been fully resolved. Coupang is currently investigating the exact cause of the problem amid growing public concerns over hacking and privacy breaches. The company boasts over 30 million monthly active users.",
