South Korean President's Passport Details Leaked Online, Investigation Underway
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, First Lady Kim Hea Kyung, national security adviser Wi Sung-lac, and 165 others had their passport and personal details leaked online. The information, including names, positions, and travel data, was uploaded in an Excel file to a paid malware scanning website in early June, shortly before the president's European trip. Authorities are investigating the leak, working to remove the data and prevent further exposure, with no evidence yet of wider dissemination.
