Hyundai Capital system was hacked. Because of this, approximately 420 thousand clients’ information was exposed.

The hacker threatened the company on Thursday via e-Mail to pay him millions in KRW, or he will release all their clients’ personal information.

Hyundai Capital rep said in an interview with SBS that they already sought help from police and reported to cyber investigators. They also blocked all the portals.

The hacker blackmailed twice more yesterday.

The authorities tracked hacker’s email account and IP address, but they did not find anything yet.
