Government pledge to check 1,650 IT systems left private firms to self-audit

South Korea\'s government said last year it would inspect security vulnerabilities in 1,650 IT systems, but did not separately verify the self-check results submitted by private companies, data showed. The Ministry of Science and ICT collected only documents confirming whether checks were conducted and did not receive details of vulnerabilities found. Lawmaker Lee Jeong-heon said some firms that reported completing checks later had personal data leaks or reported incidents to KISA.
