The financial authorities said no unusual signs such as unauthorized authentication were found related to the SKT SIM card information leak incident. The financial authorities decided to establish and operate an emergency response headquarters and to strengthen regular security checks.
On the 30th, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service held a meeting on the 'Financial Sector Inspection Meeting Related to the SKT SIM Card Information Leak Incident' chaired by Secretary-General Kwon Dae-young at the Government Seoul Office, with participation from relevant institutions and associations to discuss future response directions.
Attendees of the meeting included representatives from the Financial Services Commission, Financial Supervisory Service, Financial Security Institute, Credit Information Center, and Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute, as well as the Banking Association, Korea Financial Investment Association, Life Insurance Association, General Insurance Association, Credit Finance Association, and the Korea Savings Bank Association.
Minister Kwon noted, 'If the SKT hacking incident leads to a financial security incident, it could cause serious damage as well as social unrest,' urging, 'Let us stay alert and work together to ensure that all citizens can continue financial transactions with peace of mind.'
The financial authorities plan to establish an emergency response headquarters to prevent financial damage from the SKT SIM card information leak incident, build a rapid communication system, and report the status of financial sector responses and unusual situations on a daily basis.
The attendees stated that while no unusual signs related to unauthorized authentication have been detected at this time, they are preparing a constant response posture in anticipation of future incidents. They also agreed that strengthening the financial company's fraud detection system to prevent unauthorized authentication and the need for systematic responses through rapid information sharing when signs occur are essential.
The Financial Security Institute stated, 'Concentrated monitoring of unusual financial transactions by the financial sector is necessary, and we will quickly share related information with financial institutions to ensure a response.'
