SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's SK Telecom was fined on Thursday about 134 billion won ($96.53 million) after the country's largest mobile carrier suffered a cyberattack this year causing the leak of data for nearly 27 million users.
The government-run Personal Information Protection Commission announced the punishment in a statement, blaming the company for neglecting its duty to take safety measures and for delays in notifying the leak to customers.
