The “Auction” was hacked..

I got the news that the Auction (http://www.auction.co.kr) was hacked. It is the largest auction company in Korea (originated from EBAY from US) and thousands of personal information including name, identification number, address and email were hacked, and also  bank account for me that is the most serious part. I entered my ID and password on the confirming page, then I knew that my imformation was totally hacked, too.

How come is it possible of personal information outflow? I’ll definitely try to find a way for recovering my damage. On the evening, I could access to the Naver Cafe named ”Cafe for the victims of hacking.” And we are preparing to sue the Auction for the lack of the personal imformation management. They hired a famous lawyer of ability for this huge proceeding. I payed 10,000won for the fee and sent a letter of attorney. There remains nothing but waiting.

Some time ago, there were some cases like these, the LG site, KB, and Lineage game site. They give back the users 200,000 won for each person. I wish it goes well so that I can get some extra money on behalf of recovering my personal informaion.

  1. I was also shocked when I read that news article too. I shoulve have changed my password as well. My mom usually purchases somthing useful at a reasonable price but now she is not sure. I’m afraid whether she keeps being a auctioner or a internet shopper. This happening made lots of people get nervous and stole our trust from the security system. What sould we do? How can we trust other time then? Can anybody assure next time? I don’t think so.

  2. I think I have to check my account as well. I’m wondering whether my account has been hacked from the hacker or not. Hacker crackdown is needed for protecting our information.
