[National Audit 2026] Tving faces criticism over plain-text access key storage, hardcoding flaws; CEO Choi admits security lapses

Tving, which suffered a large-scale personal data leak, was criticised in parliament for weak basic security management, including storing developer access keys in plain text in source code. Lawmakers also said fundamental fixes were not made despite earlier penetration tests flagging hardcoding vulnerabilities. CEO Choi Ju-hee apologised and said the company had been lax on security. Lawmakers also questioned delayed detection, reporting and document submissions after the incident.
