SEOUL, November 26 (AJP) - Netmarble announced on Wednesday that its PC gaming website was hacked last week, potentially exposing personal information belonging to customers and employees.

The company said it detected the intrusion on Nov. 22 and “immediately took response measures,” including blocking unauthorized access and notifying authorities. An internal investigation is under way to determine the scale of the breach.

According to Netmarble, the compromised data may include customer names, birthdates and encrypted passwords, along with information related to current and former employees such as names and company email addresses. Data from PC cafe operators collected before 2015 may also have been affected.

Netmarble emphasized that no resident registration numbers or other highly sensitive personal data were leaked, and that encrypted passwords are unlikely to be exploited. Still, the company urged users of its 18 PC titles to change their passwords as a precaution.
