Two security breaches were confirmed at DOUZONE BIZON, raising the possibility that personal data belonging to client companies and third parties whose data those clients held may have been leaked.

DOUZONE BIZON voluntarily reported the incidents to the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) and disclosed progress on security investments totalling 16 billion won. The government deemed the incidents serious and launched a joint public-private investigation, while whether data was actually leaked and the extent of any leak remain under investigation.
