Cyworld Service Delayed to August "Responding to Hacking Attack"

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Cyworld has postponed the launch of the login and photo/video count checking features by one month.

Cyworld operator Cyworld Z announced on the 5th, "The login service will be delayed until August 2."

Originally, Cyworld planned to resume a service on this day that would automatically allow members to check the restored photos, videos, comments, BGM (background music), and acorn counts per member upon login.

Cyworld Z explained that the reason for the schedule delay is due to excessive hacking attacks originating mainly from China. A company official stated, "To ensure the stability of customer data, we have decided to further strengthen our security system, and as a result, we have had to postpone the service for four weeks."

The company reported that more than 100 hacking attacks targeting Cyworld's 'automatic ID retrieval' and 'login service' were detected, including about 30 attacks yesterday and about 80 attacks this morning.

Cyworld had previously announced a revival in March, postponed it to May, and then adjusted the service schedule to July.
