Naver has announced measures following an incident in which around 15,000 users’ activity histories on Knowledge iN were exposed due to an error in its People Information Service.

According to industry sources cited by The Chosun Daily, the issue arose when a Knowledge iN profile link was incorrectly connected to Naver’s People Information Service.

This error led to the public exposure of 15,067 users’ activity records from 3 p.m. on 3 February.

Naver disabled the feature at 10:20 p.m. on 4 February and notified all affected users by text and email.

Users were also able to check whether their information had been exposed by contacting the relevant department.

To prevent similar incidents, Naver launched a new “My Data Management Tool” page.

The Privacy Center allows users to request a suspension of personal information processing and withdraw consent for third-party provision.

Users can view what information each service collects and how it processes it via the Usage Status tab.

The Rights Protection Center handles reports of personality rights violations, such as defamation or privacy breaches caused by content written by others. It also processes requests to remove exposed content.

Posts authored by users themselves are excluded. Naver CEO Choi Soo-yeon reported the incident to the Personal Information Protection Commission and pledged full cooperation with the investigation.

The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now

The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now

The post The GENIUS Act Is Already Law. Banks Shouldn’t Try to Rewrite It Now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Healthy competition drives innovation and better products for consumers; it is at the center of American economic leadership. Unfortunately, now that the bipartisan GENIUS Act has been signed into law, major legacy financial institutions seem to be having second thoughts about the innovations that stablecoins can bring to financial markets. Bank lobbying groups and public affairs teams have been peppering Congress with complaints about the law, urging members to reopen debate and introduce changes to the legislation that will ensure the stablecoin market doesn’t grow too quickly, protecting banks’ profits and stifling consumer choice. This reactionary response is both overblown and unnecessary. What legacy financial firms should do instead is embrace competition and offer exciting new products and services that consumers want, not try to kneecap emerging players through anti-innovation rules and regulations. The GENIUS Act was carefully designed with a thorough bipartisan process to strengthen consumer safeguards, ensure regulatory oversight, and preserve financial stability. Efforts to roll back its provisions are less about protecting families and more about protecting entrenched banking interests from the competition that helps ensure the U.S. banking system stays the strongest and most innovative in the world. Critics warn that allowing stablecoins to provide rewards could lead to massive deposit outflows from community banks, with figures as high as $6.6 trillion cited. But closer examination shows this fear is unfounded. A July 2025 analysis by consulting firm Charles River Associates found no statistically significant relationship between stablecoin adoption and community bank deposit outflows. In fact, the overwhelming majority of stablecoin reserves remain in the traditional financial system — either in commercial bank accounts or in short-term Treasuries — where they continue to support liquidity and credit in the broader U.S. economy. The dire estimates rely on unrealistic assumptions that every dollar of stablecoin issuance permanently…
