It looks like we aren't the only country with hacking problems, S. Korea just got hit hard.

Personal information of 35 million South Koreans has been compromised as a result of a hacking attack on the company that runs the country's biggest social network and a major Web search engine, according to reports.

How much ever money they lose from data breaches probably isn't near what they're spending monthly on their mmo's of choice. Still I feel for them.
 
...but it was probably North Koreans that hacked them and Amazon WON'T deliver there :p
 
It's Cyworld and Nate that got hacked. Cyworld is a very popular social networking site in S. Korea, more so than Facebook; most S. Koreans are registered on it (hence the 35 million figure).

From the breach, there's going to be a lot of Korean registration numbers (equivalent to the US SSN) leaking around, making it possible for hackers to use and abuse them.
