Coupang's stock closed higher on the New York Stock Exchange on the 26th (local time) after a massive personal data leak. It was the first trading day since Coupang released the results of its internal investigation.
On the New York Stock Exchange that day, Coupang Inc. (hereafter Coupang), Coupang's parent company, finished at $24.27, up 6.45% from the previous trading day.
As the New York market was closed the previous day for the Christmas holiday, it was the first trading day since Coupang released the results of its internal investigation.
On the 25th (Korea time), Coupang said in a press release about the personal data leak that it identified a former employee who leaked customer information using forensic evidence.
Coupang added that it had retrieved and secured all devices and hard disk drives used to access and exfiltrate customer information, and it was found that there was no external transmission.
Coupang also argued that the leaker deleted all stored information and that it was found there was no data among customer information transmitted to any third party.
However, the government said of Coupang's announcement, "What Coupang claims has not been verified by the public-private joint investigation team. It is a one-sided claim."
