Coupang's Data Breach: New Revelations and Ongoing Investigation

South Korean e-commerce giant Coupang has uncovered a further leak of personal data involving 165,000 users, amid a continuing government-led probe into a significant data breach announced last year.

The company, under investigation since last year, reported that the newly identified leak consists of customer contact details such as names, phone numbers, and addresses. Importantly, no payment information, login credentials, or order histories were affected.

Coupang has assured compliance with governmental guidance by notifying affected users. The company clarified that these cases are part of the breach initially disclosed in November and not a new incident.
