Victims of the Golfzon personal data breach, which exposed names, phone numbers, emails, and resident registration numbers of approximately 2.21 million people, have launched a class-action lawsuit through the law firm CK. The lawsuit seeks 200,000 won per victim, citing Golfzon's failure to implement proper security measures and retain expired data. The breach, resulting from a ransomware attack, also led to secondary harms like voice phishing. CK plans to recruit more plaintiffs via a Naver café and emphasizes compensation for victims under the Personal Information Protection Act, which allows damages up to 3 million won per case.
