On Feb, the largest e-marketplace of Korea, Auction.co.kr was attacked by hackers and over 10 million users of Auction's personal information was leaked. The problem is an increasing number of criminal hackers are seeking to obtain web users' personal information and profit from it.
More than 50% of malicious foreign internet traffic into Korea comes from China. As voice phishing frauds by Chinese is steadily increasing now, This leak of information can be highly used for criminal, fraud etc. So all of you should be careful by yourselves.
By the way I have a recommendation for all of you, Morin and all, how to manage your password. I strongly suggest you must have different type of passwords, at least 3 types.
1. Set a normal password for ordinary websites. This can be used in wherever you need to have your ID and password.
2. Set an another special passsword for bank, insurance etc web sites which are more important than above. It will protect your accounts' malicious debit or something. Because if someone obtain your normal password, if he is a bad man, he would be happy and try to access your bank or insurance website with the passworld. But if you set a different password for more sensitive and important website, he would be frustrated soon.
3. Set the most complicated password for email service. I used to worried what if an administrator of some web sites which I registered may try to use my personal information (ID and Password for the website) at other websites. I mean, if you use the same ID and Passowrd in Naver which were used in a small e-commerce shop, if the administrator of small shop is bad, he may try to enter your ID and password at every website and finally your Naver account can be neutralized.
I want to explain it to you more specific but it is hard for me. But I believe if you maintain different types of password (at least 3) and properly used in proper websites, you may do well.
Anyway below is the link for the original news article for above issue. Auction.co.kr was hacked.
