The fine totals $409 million, eclipsing the previous record of 134.8 billion won set on SK Telecom. Coupang has not commented publicly on the ruling.\n\nThe sanction sends a clear signal to online retailers that lax data security will be met with steep financial consequences. It also raises the cost of compliance for companies operating across the region’s strict privacy regime.\n\nFor now, the fine stands as the highest ever imposed in South Korea, a benchmark that could influence future enforcement actions.","[\"coupang\",\"south-korea\",\"data-privacy\"]","2026-06-11T09:33:03.000Z","2026-06-11T10:59:48.328Z","2026-06-11T10:59:54.804Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fsouth-korea-fines-coupang-409-million-for-data-breach.webp",[26,27,28],"coupang","south-korea","data-privacy",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"The Next Web","https:\u002F\u002Fthenextweb.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcoupang-409-million-data-breach-fine-south-korea",0]
