Naver.com, often described as the “Yahoo for Koreans” and owned by the Japanese company Line Corporation, has allegedly experienced a substantial data breach. This incident follows a previous leak that the company reportedly dismissed as a “public info scrape.” However, based on information circulating, the current compromise appears to be far more severe, potentially exposing sensitive user data.
The alleged breach includes a range of critical user information, which could have serious implications for the millions who rely on Naver’s services for everything from search and news to shopping and communication. While the full extent of the compromised data is still being assessed, the initial indications point to a significant security incident.
Leaked data allegedly includes:
- User IDs
- Password Hashes
- Emails
- Plaintext Passwords
