YES24: "Strengthening Security Systems and Operational Policies"
YES24, which had experienced a service outage due to a ransomware attack, restored normal operations within half a day.
According to YES24, as of 11:30 a.m. on August 11, all services had returned to normal. The company stated, "Immediately after the incident, we activated a company-wide emergency response system, promptly shut down the system, conducted security checks, and completed reporting to KISA. We then proceeded with service restoration using backup data, and as of 11:30 a.m., all services are accessible and fully operational."
On this day, YES24 was hit by a ransomware attack at around 4:30 a.m., which restricted access to its website and app, as well as service usage. Just two months earlier, the company had experienced about a week-long service outage due to a hacking incident. This repeated hacking raised significant concerns about potential damage, but recovery was achieved within half a day.
YES24 stated, "We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused to our users. We will continue to strengthen our security systems and operational policies to provide more stable services in the future."
