The Personal Information Protection Commission restored part of the systems under its purview that were halted by the fire at the National Information Resources Service.

The Personal Information Protection Commission said on the 1st that it normalized the personal information exposure response system among 14 systems under its purview. The system is an internal work support service that detects online posts containing personal information such as passport numbers. The commission said no signs of additional leakage or intrusion were found during the recovery process.

The remaining services that have not yet been restored are being operated through alternative intake methods. In particular, for data breach reports and dispute mediation applications subject to statutory deadlines, the commission plans to handwrite the time of receipt by phone, fax, or email to ensure legal effect.

In addition, if there is an urgent need to complete personal information protection training, a separate link will be provided through the system failure notice page to allow applications and training.

The commission said it is continuing guidance to minimize public inconvenience and is working with related agencies to normalize the remaining services as quickly as possible.
