South Korea's Science Minister stated that a data leak at e-commerce giant Coupang affected over 33 million customers, with names and email addresses compromised, and potentially addresses and order information. This contradicts Coupang's initial claim of only 3,000 accounts being affected. Coupang has since apologized and announced a compensation plan valued at over $1.17 billion, offering discounts and coupons to affected customers, with payments starting January 15.
