[Edaily] Interview with Partner Lawyer Ahn Il-woon_Reason Existed for Reviewing 'Cancellation Fee Waiver' in SKT Hacking Incident

Law firm Veat’s An Il-woon partner attorney conducted an interview with eKorea regarding the recently occurred ‘SKT USIM hacking incident.’

Attorney An Il-woon stated in the interview, “The situation is that even SK Telecom has not clearly ascertained to whom and how much information was leaked, and given the uncertain scope of the damage, unilaterally waiving termination fees for all subscribers has significant legal controversy.” He emphasized that, according to the terms and conditions, the clause regarding ‘termination fee waiver due to the company’s fault’ applies only when the leaked information has a serious impact on the contract maintenance of individual subscribers, and suggested, “It is more reasonable to take individual measures or provide differentiated compensation to subscribers whose damage has been proven rather than unilaterally waiving termination fees for all subscribers.”
