President Park Geun-hye has waded in on the issue... making it clear her
administration will hold those involved in the massive data leak
responsible,... by launching a thorough investigation into all financial
companies in the nation, including the three credit card firms in question.
Meeting with her top secretaries on Monday,... the president described the
leakage as [quote] "something that should have never happened", and
ordered her officials to devise fundamental measures to make sure
customers do not suffer when financial firms collect and store personal
data. She also called on financial firms to find
other ways to indentify individuals
by benchmarking other countries, rather than solely relying on resident
registration numbers, that are widely used in Korea.
