Two South Korean teenagers have been charged with breaching Seoul's public bike-sharing service Ttareungyi in June 2024, exposing personal data of 4.62 million users — roughly 90% of all registered riders. The stolen data included user IDs, phone numbers, home addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, genders, and weights. The teens, who met on Telegram over a shared interest in information security, were identified during a separate investigation into a DDoS attack on a private mobility company. Police found no evidence the data was leaked or sold, though investigators believe the intent was financial gain. The case has been referred to public prosecutors.
