Hack exposes personal data of over 400 MG insurance members

First reported · Last reported · 21 related reports

A hack at MG Community Credit Cooperatives exposed personal data, including names, resident registration numbers and bank account information, of over 400 mutual insurance members. MG reported the incident to the authorities and pledged full compensation for any resulting losses, while the Ministry of the Interior and Safety launched an emergency inspection with relevant agencies. Concerns were raised over an approximately 60-hour delay in detecting the incident and data being leaked through an IP address that had already been blocked, and MG subsequently moved to prevent secondary harm such as financial fraud.
