Personal and credit information was leaked after NRL Capital Lend, a 100% subsidiary of The LEADCORP, the No. 1 domestic lend company, was hit by a hacking attack. The leaked information includes customer names, resident registration numbers, mobile phone numbers, workplace names, and addresses, as well as loan application and approval amounts, loan disbursement accounts, and credit scores.
NRL Capital Lend said on the 22nd on its website that "an illegal external intrusion (hacking) into our internal system occurred," and "in the process, we identified indications that some customers' personal and credit information was leaked." The company said it is conducting a detailed investigation in cooperation with an external security agency, has reported the incident to the relevant authorities, and has strengthened monitoring to prevent additional damage.
NRL Capital Lend said, "Be especially cautious about phone calls or text messages impersonating the company," and "Be careful with emails, texts, or L.I.N.C clicks from unclear sources, and report immediately if suspicious logins or transaction histories occur."
The hacking is presumed to have occurred when a company employee installed an unauthorized program on a personal computer (PC), which led to a malware infection, and the hacker accessed the internal server through the infected PC. The Financial Supervisory Service has identified the leak of NRL Capital Lend customers' personal and credit information and is said to be conducting an on-site inspection.
