BMC commission to bring forward separate storage of resident numbers and CI to January 2027

South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media Communication Commission said on Thursday it will bring forward by four months the start of mandatory separate storage of resident registration numbers and linked information (CI), to January 2027 from May. The commission approved an amendment to a notice revising standards on the generation and processing of CI. It said the measure aims to block the risk of both sets of information being leaked together and to strengthen security.
