Names. Phone numbers. Home addresses. Dates of birth. A shocking 4.5 MILLION records from the Ttareungi bike-sharing service were ripped from the servers. Police confirm this was a deliberate HACKING ATTACK, with the digital thieves still on the loose. This isn’t a glitch—it’s a full-scale invasion of privacy targeting almost the system’s entire 5 million subscribers.
The damning evidence, first reported by Yonhap News Agency, reveals authorities only stumbled upon the leak while investigating a DIFFERENT case. The Seoul Facilities Corporation, which manages the bikes, was left in the dark until police told them. A city official suspects the data was siphoned off during a wave of cyberattacks back in April. Their weak reassurance? “No reports of damage so far.” But the damage is DONE. Your identity is already in the hands of criminals.
Who benefits? The shadowy hackers who now own a digital map of Seoul’s citizens. Who stays silent? The officials who failed to protect you and didn’t even know you were robbed for MONTHS. This is a pattern of negligence, where your safety is an afterthought.
They have your home address, and they didn’t even bother to tell you.
