"Korea's data protection watchdog on Wednesday told e-commerce giant Coupang to stop publishing its own findings about a data breach that compromised the personal information of millions of users, warning that unverified statements could mislead users and undermine an ongoing official investigation. The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) said Coupang had disclosed information on its app and website that authorities have not confirmed through a formal probe."
"During the review, the PIPC took issue with Coupang's notice that was based on statements obtained through the company's own contact with a former employee identified as the suspected source of the leak, even as the official investigation continued. The watchdog said Coupang presented those statements as if authorities had verified them."
