TVING, an online video streaming service, has reported a data breach that has compromised the personal information of some users due to unauthorized external access.
On June 3, TVING announced on its official website that it had confirmed the unauthorized access to its systems, which resulted in the leakage of certain members' personal information. The company stated that it took immediate security measures upon discovering the breach and significantly enhanced its monitoring systems to prevent further damage.
The leaked information includes user identification IDs, names, birth dates, genders, phone numbers, and email addresses. However, sensitive financial information such as resident registration numbers and payment details were not part of the breach. TVING clarified that it does not hold such sensitive information due to the structure of its services, thus this breach does not involve those data points.
To prevent secondary damage, TVING has advised users to change their passwords immediately. The company emphasized the importance of changing passwords, especially if users have reused their TVING account credentials (ID and password) on other sites or services, as this poses a risk of identity theft.
Additionally, TVING has established a dedicated customer support center and plans to focus on minimizing user impact through public notifications. Further details regarding the breach's specifics and remedial procedures will be provided as they become available.
A TVING representative stated, "We are closely investigating the cause of the breach and the extent of its impact, prioritizing customer protection and taking all necessary measures. We will cooperate fully with government and relevant agencies to establish preventive measures against future incidents."
