Coupang's stock, hit by a massive personal data breach, closed higher on the New York stock exchange on the 26th (local time). This was the first trading day after Coupang released the findings of its own investigation.
On the New York stock exchange that day, Coupang Inc. (hereafter Coupang), the parent company of Coupang, finished the session at $24.27, up 6.45% from the previous trading day.
Because the New York stock exchange was closed the previous day for the Christmas holiday, this was the first trading day since Coupang released the findings of its own investigation.
On the 25th (Korea time), Coupang said in a press release regarding the personal data breach that, using forensic evidence, it identified a former employee who leaked customer information.
Coupang also said it recovered 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 further claimed that the leaker deleted all stored information and it was found that none of the customer information was 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."
