The company therefore coughed up info about 1,540 customers, and earned ₩40 million in fines.
Samsung Securities did a lousy job securing a web server, an error that saw data describing 48,122 users leak. The data was visible for a month, earning the chaebol a ₩100 million fine.Kara's fail was spectacular: it exposed admin creds to a search engine, and data inevitably leaked.
