Coupang Catastrophe: Massive Data Breach Exposes 33.7 Million Customers’ Info!
Coupang, South Korea’s retail giant, experienced a data breach exposing 33.7 million customers’ personal details. While payment info remains safe, names and addresses weren’t so lucky. With authorities on it, Coupang advises customers to watch for impersonation attempts. Meanwhile, cybercriminals remain as elusive as a cat in a laser pointer factory.
Hot Take:
Oh Coupang, you had one job: to keep your customers’ data safe. Instead, you chose to serve it up like a hot bowl of bibimbap for hackers. I guess 33.7 million customers will have to be content with the knowledge that at least their credit card numbers weren’t invited to the data-sharing party. But hey, who needs privacy when you can have a personalized hacker experience?
Key Points:
- Coupang’s data breach exposed personal information of 33.7 million customers.
- The breach was discovered months after it occurred, on November 18, 2025, affecting initially 4,500 accounts.
- Exposed data includes names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, and order info, but not payment details or passwords.
- A former employee allegedly used unrevoked access tokens to access the data.
- Customers are advised to watch out for phishing attempts and impersonation scams.
