Yes24

A ransomware attack on Yes24, one of South Korea’s largest ticketing platforms and online book retailers, has caused significant disruptions in the country’s entertainment industry. The attack left the company’s website and services offline for four consecutive days, leading to event cancellations and postponements. The outage impacted presales and events for K-pop stars and actors, and producers of musicals had to ask audience members to present printed or emailed reservations. The company is working to restore services and has reported suspicious activity involving unauthorized access to customer data to South Korea’s data privacy agency.
