A system is available for anyone in the nation to view their personal information processing details online and request correction, deletion, and destruction.

The Korea Internet Development Agency stated it is pushing for the establishment of such a system so that citizens can actively exercise their rights to infringe on personal information.

So far, people have been able to receive reports of personal information damage through online, but in the future, people will be able to improve the process and the situation of measures.

Meanwhile, KISA plans to expand the e-Privacy Clean Service, a website member withdrawal support service, to implement this function by linking with the Personal Information Infringement Reporting Center, the Personal Information Dispute Resolution Committee, the illegal spam reporting center, and the illegal TM reporting center. EPrivacy Clean Service is a homepage that enables users to check personal identification information such as resident registration number, i-pin, and mobile phone authentication online and to leave an unnecessary website. It is planning the current system and plans to start system construction from next year and start service in 2019.

Kim Chu-young, the head of the KISA Personal Information Response Center, explained, "Although it is possible to receive personal information damage report online, the actual handling and measures can be done only offline, which is ineffective. We will make it easy. "

According to KISA, personal information leaks caused by internal employee hacking as well as external system hacking have been increasing, and personal information leakage routes have become diverse, raising concerns about secondary damage. KISA has identified 59 % of outbreaks of personal information leakage from 2014 to 2016. (7.8%) Managerial carelessness (6.8%) and System errors (5.9%) were also recorded.

Kim also said, "In the past, personal information was leaked through system hacking. Recently, however, internal employees have tried to leak personal information, social engineering hacking using human psychology has increased, I am. "

In fact, this year`s O2O (online and offline linking) service, `How are you doing here?` Was the biggest issue in personal information infringement. In particular, as the personal information leakage route becomes more diverse, a series of secondary damages occur continuously.

First, when personal information is leaked by a public agency or a corporation collecting personal information due to hacking or internal management neglect, a database (DB) is formed for this information. In addition, the personal information database is shared secretly and abused by cyber fraud such as spam as well as damages such as canon phone opening and credit card issuance.

KISA, on the other hand, is checking various methods such as planning, inspection, and special inspection to prevent personal information infringement.

The planning check is to check the security system of the organization where the infringement of personal information is concentrated, and the special check is a measure to minimize the secondary damage by examining the place where the personal information leakage accident occurred.
