Not long ago, there was an incident where Kakao Pay, used by 40 million people, leaked personal information to Ali. It was an incident that only those who knew about it knew about and passed it over quietly. I intentionally did not install Ali or Temu because I was afraid that my personal information would be leaked, but in the end…
I knew Kakao Pay would do that. As expected, they illegally handed over the information without the customer’s consent. But why did Kakao suddenly hand over personal information to Ali?
They were trying to enter the Apple App Store. But Apple requests customer data from payment companies that want to enter the store, and the data is created by reprocessing customer personal information. Kakao Pay outsourced the reprocessing work to an Alipay affiliate, and it was all sold off…. But they said they didn’t provide the reprocessed information to Apple… It’s ridiculous.
There are rumors that it was provided because Kakao Pay’s major shareholder is Alipay, but even if they have a stake in Ali, why would they hand over customer information?? It seems like Kakao has really gone too far… I think this kind of situation keeps happening because they punish people leniently when it comes to security. Now, it seems like the personal information of Korean citizens is just international personal information…
