Presidential office attributes limited impact to domestic IT infrastructure, but concerns over vulnerabilities persist
South Korea’s Presidential Office stated that around 10 domestic companies were affected by last week’s global IT crash caused by a flawed software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. The affected companies have either completed recovery or are in the process of recovery, and the damage is relatively less severe compared to other countries, according to presidential office spokesperson Jeong Hye-jeon.
The presidential office attributed the limited impact to South Korea’s “well-established IT infrastructure, such as the Cloud Security Assurance Program (CSAP) and domestic security solutions.” A flawed software update sent out by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike on July 19 to its customers running Microsoft Windows caused computers to crash, resulting in the global outage.
