SK Hynix "2 Trillion Won Loss Due to DRAM Defects Is Inaccurate"... Requests Investigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] SK Hynix announced on the 8th that it has officially requested an investigation by the Cyber Investigation Team of the Icheon Police Station regarding the spread of false information related to a 'large-scale DRAM defect' post that was uploaded on an online community site on the 7th.

On the 7th, posts appeared on some community sites such as Blind, claiming that defects occurred in DRAM produced by SK Hynix, estimating about 240,000 wafers defective and losses amounting to 2 trillion won. On the 8th, this information spread mainly in the stock market.

SK Hynix submitted a complaint to the police, requesting an investigation based on online channels such as Blind where the post was published and KakaoTalk group chat rooms.

The complaint included charges of defamation and obstruction of business due to the dissemination of false information.

An SK Hynix official stated, "It is true that defects occurred during the production process of some DRAM, but the defect rate is at a normal level, and claims of large-scale defects and losses of 2 trillion won are completely untrue. We decided to file a complaint to raise awareness about the reckless posting of maliciously written posts on online channels."

He added, "If similar incidents occur in the future, we will immediately request investigations, and if the authors and distributors are identified, we will take all legal measures including civil claims for damages."
