LG Uplus CEO says he will take appropriate responsibility if hacking cover-up is confirmed

Hong Beom-sik, CEO of LG Uplus, said he would take appropriate responsibility if it is confirmed the company deliberately covered up hacking or obstructed an investigation. He declined to give a firm answer on whether to waive early termination fees for customers switching carriers, saying the company would follow the judgment of judicial authorities and any government guidelines. Lawmakers pressed the company on user protection measures, evidence preservation and promotional use of a top evaluation grade.
