Seoul National University Hospital skips cybersecurity disclosure for years despite breach affecting 830,000

Seoul National University Hospital failed to file mandatory cybersecurity disclosures for years despite a breach affecting 830,000 individuals. An investigation revealed the hospital's non-compliance, though it may benefit from a regulatory exemption typically granted to tertiary hospitals. The case highlights gaps between breach scope and transparency obligations.

Why it matters: Patients and regulators need to understand whether health facilities are meeting disclosure requirements, particularly when major breaches occur; practitioners should clarify what exemptions apply to large healthcare organizations in their jurisdiction.
