Aladin hack leads to illegal leak of 720,000 e-books
Impact: 720,000 e-books
A hack of Aladin led to the illegal leak of 720,000 e-books. The publishing industry warned it would halt book supplies unless compensation was paid, and the e-book industry joined forces to respond to copyright infringement. In May 2024, the Korean Publishers Association and Aladin agreed on compensation, but criticism arose that authors had been excluded from the discussions.
