A couple, both employees at a financial institution, were fined heavily for illegally accessing various financial information over 1,100 times to dig up weaknesses of their younger sister.

The Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 4 (Presiding Judge Jeong In-young) announced on the 6th that Mr. A, who was prosecuted for violating the Personal Information Protection Act, was sentenced to a fine of 25 million KRW, and his wife, Mrs. B, was fined 3 million KRW.

According to the court, Mr. A, who worked at a financial institution, accessed the company’s computer network from March 2019 to February of the following year and illegally viewed his younger sister Ms. C’s card information and approval details over 1,100 times.

Mrs. B, who also worked at the same financial institution, was prosecuted together for checking Ms. C’s personal information without permission three times.

The couple was found to have committed the crime to gain an advantage by uncovering their sister’s weaknesses during a dispute over a loan issue.

Mr. A also once reported Ms. C for illegal fuel purchases using duty-free fuel based on the illegally obtained information.

The court explained, “The victim has requested severe punishment, and the crime is serious as personal information was accessed over 1,000 times over a long period. However, we took into consideration that the information was not used for profit-making activities.”
