Coupang, South Korea's dominant e-commerce and delivery platform, disclosed in late 2025 a large-scale breach: a former employee allegedly used a stolen key to access personal data of about 33.7 million customer accounts between June and November 2025. CEO Park Dae-jun resigned on December 10, 2025; Korean police raided the company's Seoul headquarters and authorities opened a government-wide investigation. On June 10, 2026 Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission announced an approximately $278 million fine over the incident and a separate ~$132 million fine over third-party advertising data; Coupang said it will seek judicial relief (Coupang Form 8-K, June 2026).

Coupang is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform, not a semiconductor maker; the prior boilerplate about chip manufacturers did not apply.
