[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] It has been confirmed that the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji) website was hacked.
As of 9:49 AM on the 4th, when clicking the 'Fake News Q&A about Shincheonji Church related to COVID-19' menu on the Shincheonji website, a popup appears saying, 'Shincheonji site got completely hacked by a middle schooler lololol'.
Below the page, the same phrase and a photo of a Buddha statue appear. This page was created on the 21st of last month to refute fake news surrounding Shincheonji amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
On this page, Shincheonji responded to the public opinion questioning "Is Shincheonji Church of Jesus not cooperating with health authorities?" by stating, "On February 25, Shincheonji Church of Jesus provided the health authorities with the list of all its members (domestically residing), totaling 212,324 people."
Meanwhile, it is known that Shincheonji has belatedly confirmed this issue and is currently preparing a response.
