The homepage of Korea Resources Corporation has 2,142 social security
numbers listed publicly, and still has the resumes of applicants from
the year 2004 on its website. There is enough information to forge
identification cards.

On the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family homepage, the personal
information of 86 applicants for ?women heads of family establishment
funds? is accessible. Their names, social security numbers, cell phone
numbers, incomes, property holdings, and reasons for filing for female
family head status are all revealed on the website.

Social security numbers have also been exposed on the homepages of the
Supreme Public Prosecutor`s Office and the National Police Agency.
