The South Korean police will launch an investigation into information leakage at SK Telecom.

According to news from the South Korean police on May 20, the police will begin a comprehensive investigation tomorrow into the failure of the South Korean mobile operator SK Telecom to promptly respond to the leakage of user mobile card information. The South Korean police believe that SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and others were aware of the leaked user information but did not promptly report the situation to the relevant government agencies, violating related laws such as the Personal Information Protection Act and the Information and Communication Network Act.
