Coupang CEO Endures Hours-Long Grilling For ‘Shocking’ Data Loss

Coupang Inc.’s top executives were grilled for hours by Korean lawmakers about their failure to prevent the country’s largest ever data breach, an incident that has sparked public outcry over the widespread theft of sensitive personal information.

Park Dae-jun, the online retailer’s chief executive officer, appeared before parliament on Tuesday to discuss the breach, which compromised the data of more than 30 million customers. Alongside the company’s chief security information officer, he fielded hours of questions about the perpetrator of the attack and the company’s slow response to the incident, which began in June.
