26 Aug 2026 GS Retail Co., Ltd.GS Retail: 12.839 billion KRW after credential stuffing on GS SHOP and GS25 South KoreaData breaches and data security €7.95m

Using credentials stolen elsewhere, attackers logged in en masse on the websites of GS SHOP (June 2024 to February 2025) and GS25 (December 2024 to January 2025) and obtained data on 1,581,025 and 79,128 people respectively; GS Retail Co., Ltd. detected neither the bursts of login attempts from the same IP addresses nor the rising number of failed attempts, and after the first discovery at GS25 did not stop the parallel attack on GS SHOP. The authority also found an inadequate data protection organisation and that 1,599 further people were notified more than 72 hours late, imposed a penalty surcharge of 12,836,000,000 KRW and an administrative fine of 3,000,000 KRW (12,839,000,000 KRW in total) and ordered detection measures and a review of the data protection organisation.

What organisations can take from it

Login pages need rate limiting and anomaly detection; after a first credential-stuffing finding, all of a company’s portals must be checked.
