Online security in S-Korea

You would think that S-Korea, with the highest broadband penetration, an online culture that seems unstoppable, would have security in place to prevent the leakage of data. Well, they probably have but - and this is a big BUT, once the human factor is calculated in, a lot of security can go down the drain.

15 mobile company employees were arrested in S-Korea, who apparently sold privacy data of 920,000 customers to a telemarketing company. Going price per customer address - US$2.9 - and since the data is verified, wow, this is a good price. They sold information such as name, mobile phone number, identification number, e-mail address and type of cell phone used.

Police is at the lookout for the culbrits.
