韩国KB国民银行数据泄露人数由119上修至2,210人，未来资产生命保险遭网络入侵、FSS启动紧急现场检查

The number of people affected by a data breach at KB Kookmin Bank has risen to 2,210 from the 119 initially confirmed, after a detailed review of the earlier intrusion uncovered more than 2,000 additional cases. A separate leak of customer data at MIRAE ASSET Life Insurance (085620) suggests hacking damage is spreading across the financial industry.
KB Kookmin Bank said on the 26th that a detailed analysis conducted with regulators and related agencies found that the personal data of 2,091 more people had been exposed, in addition to the 119 confirmed earlier. The newly identified total includes 1,631 customers and 460 employees.
The additional exposure did not stem from a new hacking attack. It emerged during a re-examination of data and processing records on the systems involved in the original breach. The bank said it discovered the larger figure while cross-checking its initial findings with regulators.
"We are sorry to our customers that we were unable to grasp the full scope at the outset," KB Kookmin Bank said. "We will do our utmost to prevent any recurrence and to protect our customers." The bank plans to notify each newly affected customer individually of the exposure and of steps to prevent secondary damage. It is also operating a dedicated call center to handle reports and inquiries.
The insurance sector has also reported a customer data leak. MIRAE ASSET Life Insurance said on its website that it "identified abnormal signs in some systems on the 25th, recognized a cyber intrusion and is responding on an emergency basis." The breach occurred in the company's insurance application system and parts of its website, and the hacker is believed to have accessed about 41 files. The scale and categories of the personal data actually exposed have not been confirmed.
The Financial Supervisory Service launched an emergency on-site inspection of MIRAE ASSET Life Insurance the same day. The regulator plans to determine the precise scale of the damage, how the incident occurred and whether consumers were harmed.
