As of 10 a.m. on the 30th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety said that 87 of the 647 government administrative information systems that were halted due to the National Information Resources Service fire had been restored. The recovery rate is 13.4%.
Services recently normalized include the Statistics Korea National Statistics system for the public and for internal work. Through this system, Statistics Korea officials can collect, process, and analyze statistical data, and the public can view various government-produced statistics.
Ahead of the Chuseok holiday, the government had resumed operation of social welfare-related services expected to see high demand, including the "Internet Post Office" and "Postal Logistics" systems, as well as "Bokjiro" and the "Social Security Information Portal."
Earlier, at around 8:15 p.m. on the 26th, a fire broke out due to a lithium-ion battery explosion in the computer room on the fifth floor of the National Information Resources facility in Hwaam-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. Damage to systems affected by the fire caused government services to go down across the board.
The ministry has been restoring systems sequentially for the fifth day. The ministry plans to disclose the full list of all 647 systems whose services were suspended by the fire within today.
