“SK Telecom’s Response, Totally Inadequate”, ‘The Korea Federation of Micro Enterprises (KFME) has indicated that they may prepare a class action lawsuit if the damage to small business owners from the recent hacking incident involving SK Telecom continues to spread.’,

,
, ‘On the 30th, KFME issued a statement expressing growing concerns, saying, “This incident could be a critical blow to small business owners and other businesses,” and emphasized that they are in a desperate crisis where their assets, customer information leaks leading to trust decline, business disruptions, and even the company’s assets or information could be entirely compromised.’,
,
, ‘They also pointed out the inadequate response from SK Telecom. KFME criticized, “SK Telecom was busy hiding the situation, taking almost a week to send out delayed notifications and only passively recommending a USIM protection service. After the controversy grew, they hastily announced a USIM replacement, but even that was poorly executed due to a lack of supply, fueling nationwide anger with their completely inadequate handling,” they said.’,
,
, ‘Furthermore, they stressed, “If the damage to small business owners continues to spread due to this incident, we will establish an ‘SKT Hacking Incident Small Business Damage Report Center’ and strongly respond by organizing a collective lawsuit of the affected small business owners.”‘
