  "summary": "A data breach has exposed the personal information of around 39,000 customers and employees of South Korea's leading brokerage firm, Mirae Asset Securities. The compromised data includes account numbers of approximately 3,800 customers, as well as personal details of over 35,000 current and former employees and contractors. Unauthorized external access to the firm's mobile web phone authentication login service and internal systems occurred on Wednesday and Thursday. The leaked information consists of names, employee ID numbers, email addresses, mobile phone numbers, and passwords. Mirae Asset Securities promptly blocked the affected access routes and activated its emergency response system upon detecting suspicious activity. The company has reported the incident to relevant regulatory bodies, including the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Personal Information Protection Commission. This breach follows recent leaks involving Mirae Asset Securities' sister companies.",
