Current overview (not historical)
The Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced that two cryptocurrency firms, Streami and Pravang, are among 16 financial entities affected by a recent data‑breach wave that exposed roughly 100,000 customer data items. In response, the FSC will conduct intensified inspections, mandate biennial vulnerability assessments, and accelerate threat‑intelligence sharing across the sector.

This move follows earlier reports of widespread breaches that impacted major banks and other financial institutions in the country.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) disclosed that 16 financial companies, including major banks like Shinhan, Kookmin, Busan, and Hana, were affected by recent customer-data breaches. The two named virtual asset businesses are Streami, which operates the Gopax exchange, and Pravang. Approximately 100,000 pieces of customer data, including names, contact details, resident registration numbers, and email addresses, were exposed across the affected firms, though no company-level breakdown was provided. The FSC plans a wider security overhaul, including more frequent testing, faster threat sharing, and mandatory vulnerability assessments at least twice a year, starting with larger financial companies.
