SK Telecom in South Korea had a bad data breach.... and boy, are they getting hit with all kinds of consequences for it, including:

-- a fine for late reporting ($22k USD);

-- an order to send notifications to all customers who were affected (23 million?!);

-- a judgment that they have to waive cancellation fees if dissatisfied customers canceled (and 660,000 canceled just last month alone); and

-- a criminal investigation has been launched into them for not preserving data properly for the regulator's investigation.

@PogoWasRight wow, 22 whole thousand dollars?
@cryptadamist Yeah, that one surprised me. But fines in that region are generally a lot less than what we might see here.
