Personal data of all South Korean diplomats believed leaked in ‘unprecedented’ cyberattack
South Korea's Foreign Ministry reported that personal data of nearly all diplomatic personnel was compromised in a cyberattack on the Korea National Diplomatic Academy's data system, affecting up to 10,000 administrative and intelligence records. The ministry characterized the incident as unprecedented in scope.
Why it matters: Foreign ministries and diplomatic services worldwide should immediately audit their personnel data systems and assess exposure of ambassador and staff identities, locations, and family information that could enable targeting by state and non-state actors.
