Korea's financial authorities have pledged to step up their crackdown on
credit card verification companies and brokers to prevent further distribution
of personal information stolen from banks... following the worst data leak in
Korea's history. They also said they would issue harsh punishments
to credit card
companies that take advantage of the breach to attract new customers, many
of whom are canceling their accounts at the three banks where the leaks
occurred. The authorities also plan to launch a center,
with the help of related
government offices,... whose mission will be to prevent the stolen data from
falling into the wrong hands.
