On June 11, South Korea\u2019s Personal Information Protection Commission fined Coupang $410 million \u2014 nearly twice its profit last year \u2014 after finding that the company had illegally harvested customer data.<\/p>\n<p>The December mission focused on a rogue Coupang employee, a Chinese national who had allegedly extracted the personal data of 3,000 customers \u2014 a tiny fraction of the 33 million who were caught in a massive data breach at the company reported on Nov. 27 \u2013 and fled to Shanghai, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Coupang contacted the rogue employee, who confessed and agreed to turn over several devices linked to the theft \u2013 except for a laptop he had tossed into a Shanghai river in a panic, according to the 35-page report, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea\u2019s NIS allegedly told Coupang that its agents couldn\u2019t personally retrieve the devices because Chinese law bars foreign intelligence agencies from operating on its soil. Instead, it ordered Coupang to send one of its own employees to collect the devices and the rogue employee\u2019s fingerprints \u2013 all under the Chinese government\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n<p>A Coupang rep traveled to Shanghai on Dec. 17 to meet with the suspect and his lawyer, who handed over a desktop PC, four hard drives and copies, a graphics card and a signed confession. But the next day, the NIS told Coupang it was still required to recover the missing laptop. <\/p>\n<p>Coupang complied \u2014 hiring a scuba diving team to fish the device out of the grimy water, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>All of the recovered materials, including the devices, the employee\u2019s confession and fingerprints, were submitted to a waiting NIS official, who brought them to the nearby Korean consulate in Shanghai. The Coupang employee was told to verify there were \u201cno CCTV cameras to capture the handoff,\u201d according to a document cited in the report.<\/p>\n<p>After the \u201cdangerous recovery operation\u201d was deemed a success, South Korea and its National Intelligence Service stunned Coupang officials by denying any participation, according to the report to the House Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).<\/p>\n<p>Coupang\u2019s interim CEO Harold Rogers told House Judiciary officials that he \u201cnever would\u2019ve authorized an employee to go to China\u201d or \u201cauthorized hiring a diving crew in broad daylight in China to retrieve a device unless [he] firmly believed that [Coupang] had a legal obligation and a requirement to do so,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Other evidence included a signed letter from an NIS dated Dec. 2 confirming that Coupang had a legal obligation to comply with its orders. Between Dec. 1 and Dec. 26, the NIS exchanged more than 230 phone calls with Coupang related to its investigation into the data breach and also held several in-person meetings with the company about the recovery plan, the report added.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure campaign came to a head at the end of December, when Coupang\u2019s Rogers was grilled during two days of hearings by South Korea\u2019s National Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>When Rogers testified that Coupang had followed \u201cthis agency\u2019s instructions\u201d about containing the data breach, referring to the NIS, the government responded by threatening criminal perjury charges against him, as well as a potential travel ban. Those charges are still pending.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/metrotransitreview.com\/?p=3414\">Mamdani sacrifices safety by cutting the NYPD: Councilman<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The NIS explicitly denied Coupang\u2019s claims in a press release on Dec. 26 and again on Dec. 30, declaring they were \u201ccompletely false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is directly contradicted by documents and testimony obtained by the Committee,\u201d the House Judiciary report said.<\/p>\n<p>The Coupang operation was part of an effort to hamstring US tech firms that South Korea fears are a threat to homegrown rivals, according to the report. Google\u2019s Maps service is currently banned in the country, while OpenAI, Meta, Apple and Netflix have all faced investigations from South Korean regulators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Korea has weaponized digital laws and regulations to hinder the ability of innovative American companies to effectively compete in its market,\u201d added the report, which compared the country\u2019s regulatory tactics to those employed by Europe against the US tech industry.<\/p>\n<p>Coupang in particular has been a repeated target for top South Korean officials, noted Kate Kalutkiewicz, who served as senior director of trade policy at the National Economic Council during President Trump\u2019s first term in office.<\/p>\n<p>That includes South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who declared on Dec. 2 that Coupang and other companies that violate data security rules should face penalties so severe that they could go out of business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a very big deal,\u201dKalutkiewicz said. \u201cIf we\u2019re talking about a partner like South Korea, the fact that it is threatening criminal charges and the type of harassment and accusations being levied at executives of a of a large American company is fairly unusual, to say the least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Korea\u2019s SK Telecom was fined just $97 million for a breach that exposed about 27 million customers including sensitive user data, while another firm, Kakao, was fined $11 million for a breach that exposed about 40 million accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Coupang has said cybersecurity experts who reviewed the breach said it was minor in nature and did not result in harm to customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe regret the circumstances that led to the House Judiciary Committee\u2019s investigation\u00a0and we remain committed to finding a constructive resolution so Coupang can once again serve as a bridge to strengthen the US-Korea alliance, accelerating trade and investment that benefits both countries,\u201d a Coupang Inc. spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned on June 2 that US companies are facing \u201ctargeting in South Korea\u201d which had \u201cfrankly impacted our ability to conclude a trade agreement with them.\u201d Coupang, which was founded by Harvard-educated Korean American Bom Kim, claims to be the poster child for that mistreatment.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from top Trump administration officials like Vice President JD Vance, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have rallied to Coupang\u2019s defense, including more than 50 Republicans who ripped South Korea\u2019s regulatory tactics in a fiery April letter.<\/p>\n<p>Demetrios Marantis, a former acting US Trade Representative, described the South Korean government\u2019s treatment of Coupang as \u201cby far the worst that I\u2019ve ever seen in 30-plus years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a whole-of-government assault on a US company in a way that is so disproportionate to how the Korean government has treated Korean and Chinese companies who have been in similar situations,\u201d Marantis said.<\/p>\n<p>South Korean government officials did not immediately return requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/metrotransitreview.com\/?p=3412\">Harrowing 911 call reveals fight to save Brittany Clark after fatal alligator attack: \u2018Please hurry that\u2019s my best friend\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea\u2019s government allegedly pressured US-based tech firm Coupang into carrying out a bizarre, risky secret mission to recover a stolen laptop from\u00a0 the bottom of a river in China \u2013 and then lied about its own involvement, according to striking claims that surfaced in a House report on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US-based &#039;Amazon of South Korea&#039;
