South Korean ID System To Be Rebuilt From Scratch After Massive Leaks
South Korea's national identity card system may need a complete overhaul following huge data thefts dating back to 2004.
The government is considering issuing new ID numbers to every citizen over age 17, costing billions of dollars. The ID numbers and personal details of an estimated 80% of the country's 50 million people have been stolen from banks and other targets.
Some 20 million people, including President Park Geun-hye, have been victims of a data theft. Citizens are unable to change their credentials, which are used in many different sectors, making them an attractive target for hackers.
