Shinhan Bank data leak raises concerns over internal controls

Shinhan Bank confirmed a leak of personal and credit information affecting about 25,000 customers after an abnormal method was used to bypass authentication and access some services. The leaked data include names, phone numbers, annual income and calculated loan limits, as well as 66 resident registration numbers and 97 CI linkage identifiers. South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service began an emergency on-site inspection. The incident is expected to raise questions about Shinhan Bank\'s information protection and internal control systems.
