YES24: "Strengthening Security Systems and Operational Policies"
YES24, which had experienced a service outage due to a ransomware attack, restored normal operations within half a day.
According to YES24, as of 11:30 a.m. on August 11, all services had returned to normal. The company stated, "Immediately after the incident, we activated a company-wide emergency response system, promptly shut down the system, conducted security checks, and completed reporting to KISA. We then proceeded with service restoration using backup data, and as of 11:30 a.m., all services are accessible and fully operational."
On this day, YES24 was hit by a ransomware attack at around 4:30 a.m., which restricted access to its website and app, as well as service usage. Just two months earlier, the company had experienced about a week-long service outage due to a hacking incident. This repeated hacking raised significant concerns about potential damage, but recovery was achieved within half a day.
