Accommodation Booking Details Leaked... Nol Universe Apologizes for Customer and Employee Data Breach - news.sbs.co.kr
Nol Universe has apologized after revealing that personal information of some customers and employees was leaked due to a hacking incident.
On October 26, Nol Universe posted a notice on its website stating that an external attacker exploited a security vulnerability to abnormally access the inquiry function for domestic accommodation booking data from the former Interpark Tour. The affected booking details are for customers who used the domestic accommodation booking service on the former Interpark Tour between February 15 of this year and September 8.
The company noted that flight, overseas accommodation, tour, and ticket bookings on Interpark Tour, as well as NOL service bookings, were not included in this data breach.
The leaked personal information items include member IDs, member numbers, booking names, user names, phone numbers, email addresses, product names, purchase amounts, and usage dates.
We offer our deepest apologies for the security breach.
The company explained that it immediately blocked the access path used in the attack and patched the security vulnerability. It also reinforced its system for detecting and blocking abnormal access. To prevent additional damage and carry out thorough follow-up measures, Nol Universe has requested technical support from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).
Nol Universe urged users to be vigilant against suspicious contacts such as emails, text messages, or phone calls related to this incident. The company asked users to refrain from clicking on unverified links or entering personal and authentication information.
The company is currently identifying the breach route and scope and is faithfully cooperating with relevant authorities. It plans to comprehensively strengthen its security system based on the investigation results.
