It’s fun to be a popular figure until it’s not. There are so many concerns and cons of being popular and this news is definitely one of them. As per some news reports, the security of many K-Pop artists and even BTS was compromised after an employee leaked their airline information. Reportedly, this illegal activity was carried out for personal benefit. And the scary part is that this is not the first time such an incident has occurred. Read on to know more about it.
What Happened?
BTS and K-Pop artists’ security has been breached again after their airline details were leaked by an employee. A Hindustan Times report stated that the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s cybercrime unit revealed that a woman (30 year-old) could access all the important details of flight bookings and she is currently being investigated for leaking the airline details of K-Pop artists. Reportedly, the suspected woman worked for a Hong Kong Airline. The accused woman leaked seat details and private flight details of the artists by using airline software to search for celebrity names and birthdates.
As per the report, the suspect also owned up to carrying out such illegal activities in front of her acquaintances. However, she allegedly started earning profits out of it and demanded money depending on the popularity of the star. Going by the reports, authorities estimated that she sold more than 1,000 sets of data. The authorities are currently looking into the matter and are investigating the suspected woman in the case.
