Taiwanese Coupang users to get NT$1,000 voucher after data leakBy Hollie Younger / Staff writerSouth Korean e-commerce company Coupang Inc yesterday announced it would offer more than NT$200 million (US$6.39 million) in total compensation to Taiwanese customers after a data breach in November last year that could have impacted up to 200,000 customers in Taiwan. From March 8, customers could receive an NT$1,000 company gift voucher, it said. The major breach occurred after a former employee at Coupang obtained customers’ personal information from the company system. There was no initial evidence that the leak impacted Taiwanese customers, although an investigation is ongoing, Coupang said. Only one Taiwanese customer had their data stored, with the remaining data belonging to South Korean users, Coupang said.
