I was really shocked to see the news about the ringleader of the hacking organization being extradited from Thailand. It felt even scarier because it wasn't just a simple leak of personal information, but they targeted everyone from BTS's Jungkook to the chairmen of major corporations.
In particular, the fact that they stole personal information by hacking government and public institution websites and even activated budget mobile phone lines to attempt identity verification seems like an extremely sophisticated scheme. It makes me even more anxious, as nowadays it is often possible to manage finances or accounts using only mobile phone authentication.
It was mentioned again that Jungkook also suffered stock losses worth 8.4 billion won during his military service, and I felt relieved to hear that he took immediate action at the time to minimize the actual damage. It is also a great relief that the stocks transferred to a third party were returned through a court ruling.
Watching this incident, I realized that not only celebrities but also ordinary people need to pay more attention to managing their personal information and security. Above all, I hope that the punishment for such organized hacking crimes becomes stronger.
