Delivery App 'Barogo' Recovers Most Errors from DDoS Attack

Normalized by 5 PM on the 21st, 21 hours after occurrence

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Delivery platform 'Barogo' announced that most of its services were restored by 5 p.m. on the 21st, about 21 hours after experiencing server errors due to a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack.

Barogo stated, "Most of the services have returned to normal," and added, "We are doing our best to prevent recurrence." They also said, "We are actively responding to the DDoS attack in cooperation with investigative agencies."

They further noted, "It is expected that the DDoS attacks will intensify during the evening peak hours," and assured, "Since we are currently blocking the ongoing DDoS attacks properly, we will make every effort to ensure there is no inconvenience in using the service."

According to Barogo, server disruptions began around 7:50 p.m. the previous day due to DDoS attacks from domestic and international IPs. Immediately after the attack, they blocked the incoming IPs and replaced related equipment, activating a response team; however, as errors persisted, Barogo suspended delivery order acceptance.

In small business and self-employed communities such as 'Apeunikka Sajangida' ("Because It Hurts, I'm a Boss"), reports of damage included "Barogo's server went down, causing delivery cancellations to continue," and "Only login works, but the system does not operate."

Barogo is currently preparing compensation plans and other follow-up measures. They are also proceeding with the reporting process to the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

The number of delivery workers registered with Barogo was about 74,000 as of last year, with approximately 36,000 actively working.
