Earlier
this year, LG Uplus was attacked by DDoS and the internet was disrupted. The company came up with a compensation plan, which would waive 10 times the disability time for individual subscribers and one month's fee for small business owners.

The TV screen at
home freezes, and when I try to connect to OTT, I get a message saying that the webpage is unavailable.

Internet access was cut off from time to time, and customers complained at the Internet Bang, and it was closed for a while.

[Kim Inho/PC Bang (last February): There were about 2~70 people who were out now, and some people are angry and leaving... I think you can say that you lose 80% of your sales per day.]

In late January and early February, customers using LG Uplus to use the Internet experienced connection failures.

[Hong Jin-bae/Director of Network Policy Office, Ministry of Science and ICT: We found that such an attack was carried out by increasing the load by 40~1 times more than usual, making the CPU (central processing unit) not working properly.]

LG Uplus's compensation plan will first reduce the cost of 2.3 million individual subscribers by 4 times the time of disability next month.

The reduction is expected to average 427,10 won per customer.

Internet cafes were given a choice between cash payment and reduced rates, and depending on the date of disability, the amount of compensation varies from 1,41 won to 32,3 won.

Small business owners will be exempt from one month's fee after June.

Separately, in the case of the leakage of 38,7 customer information, it was caused by a weak customer database authentication system, and even after more than four months of investigation, it has not yet been determined who hacked it and how it was leaked.

A compensation proposal is expected after the government investigation is concluded.
