Preventing Apartment 월패드 Hacking and Privacy Leakage

Kolon Global announced on the 7th that its ‘Dual Security Smart Home System’ has received a patent decision from the Korean Intellectual Property Office.


After the apartment wall pad hacking incident that occurred in Korea in 2021, Kolon Global signed an agreement with a development partner company and proceeded with the development and patenting of the security system product.

Kolon Global’s security system applies a dual security structure that goes beyond the common technology of applying only the essential security standard of network separation (VPN) by introducing wall pads certified by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) as a package. Through this, the company aims to provide residents with a high level of security environment and a differentiated residential environment.


The dual security smart home system will first be applied to ‘Yuseong Haneulchae Haier’ in Bongmyeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. It will then be sequentially applied to other Haneulchae complexes supplied thereafter.



A Kolon Global official stated, “Recently, convenience has increased with the development of home network systems and smart home appliances, but at the same time, concerns about privacy leaks through hacking are also growing,” adding, “This patent registration is the result of efforts to address security issues, and we will continue to strive to provide a differentiated environment where residents can use Haneulchae’s home IoT services with peace of mind.”
