17.2kImpact: Personal data of 17,164 residents, including resident registration numbers and mobile phone numbers
Personal data of 17,164 residents was leaked during a residence registration verification survey in Wonjong 1-dong, Bucheon. Resident registration numbers and mobile phone numbers were leaked in connection with requests from neighbourhood heads (tongjang) who said face-to-face surveys were difficult, and Bucheon City became aware of it six days after the leak and belatedly retrieved the data. It then implemented measures to prevent recurrence and notified those affected individually.
