(Daejeon = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Jun-ho = The information of about 3,000 people was leaked due to unauthorized external access and personal information inquiry from 'Chak', a mobile local love gift certificate platform operated by the Korea Minting and Security Minting Corporation.

According to the Mint and Mint Corporation on the 14th, signs of abnormal access were first confirmed in the tracking system at around 9:30 am on the 13th, and IPs suspected of attack were identified and blocked.
