Broadcast Media Telecommunications Commission warns of frequent personal data theft on used goods apps
South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Telecommunications Commission said on April 24 it published the \"2025 Online Damage Counseling Casebook\". The casebook selects 50 major cases from 4,181 consultations received last year by the Online Damage 365 Center. The commission said many reports involved personal data theft during job searches on used goods trading apps, leading to unauthorized sign-ups on dating apps and concerns the data could be misused for romance scams and other financial fraud.
