韩国总统李在明等168人护照信息在网上泄露约五个月：警方正式立案调查
韩国总统李在明夫妇与多名政府高官等168人的护照等个人信息，曾在一家付费网站上公开约五个月。韩国放送公社（KBS）11月2日率先报道此事，韩国警方11月3日表示已正式立案、启动刑事调查。
泄露的是一份名为《乘客名单（韩国-比利时）》的电子文件，今年6月李在明赴欧洲访问前夕被上传到一家提供恶意软件检测服务的付费网站。该网站允许用户上传文件检测是否感染恶意代码，付费会员可以查看、下载站内文件；这份名单疑似正是在送检过程中被上传的，自6月2日起便处于可被付费会员获取的状态，持续约五个月，直到近日才被限制访问。
文件包含168人的中英文姓名、所属机构、职务、出生日期、护照号码以及护照签发日期与有效期，涉及李在明与夫人金惠景、外交部长赵显、国家安保室长魏圣洛等阁僚与高官，以及总统警卫人员、青瓦台工作人员和随行记者。这批人是李在明今年6月乘总统专机访问比利时、意大利并出席在法国举行的七国集团（G7）峰会时的同机人员。
KBS称，该台在得知泄露后通知了青瓦台。青瓦台11月2日表示已提前获悉相关报道并采取应对措施。韩国外交部发言人11月3日在记者会上表示，涉事信息已从网站删除，此事目前被判断为信息泄露而非黑客攻击，具体经过仍在调查，168人的护照正在办理重新签发。总统秘书室长11月3日召开紧急会议，要求按重大事件彻查泄露经过与范围、追究相关机构的管理责任。
韩国近几周接连发生网络入侵与信息安全事件。李在明11月3日在内阁会议上另行呼吁设立强有力的全政府网络安全统筹机构，韩国国家情报院已对2100多个中央部委、地方政府与公共机构启动紧急安全检查。
Passport Details of South Korean President Lee and 167 Others Sat Exposed Online for Five Months; Police Open Criminal Probe
Passport and other personal details of South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, his wife and senior officials — 168 people in all — sat exposed on a paid website for about five months. Public broadcaster KBS first reported the leak on November 2, and South Korean police said on November 3 that they had formally opened a criminal investigation.
The leaked file, titled “Passenger List (Korea–Belgium),” was uploaded in June, just before Lee's trip to Europe, to a paid website that scans uploaded files for malware. Paying members could view and download files on the site; the passenger list is believed to have been uploaded for just such a scan, and from June 2 it remained accessible to paying members for roughly five months before access was restricted in recent days.
The file contained the Korean and English names, affiliations, job titles, dates of birth, passport numbers and passport issue and expiry dates of 168 people, including Lee and his wife Kim Hye-kyung, Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac, along with presidential security officers, presidential-office staff and accompanying journalists. They were the passengers aboard the presidential aircraft when Lee visited Belgium and Italy in June and attended the Group of Seven summit in France.
KBS said it alerted the presidential Blue House after learning of the leak. The Blue House said on November 2 that it had been informed in advance of the reporting and had taken countermeasures. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on November 3 that the information had been deleted from the site, that the incident was being treated as a leak rather than a hack, that the circumstances were still under investigation, and that passports for all 168 people were being reissued. The presidential chief of staff convened an emergency meeting on November 3 and ordered a full investigation, as a major incident, into how the leak happened and who bore management responsibility.
South Korea has suffered a string of intrusions and data-security incidents in recent weeks. Separately, at a cabinet meeting on November 3, Lee called for a powerful government-wide cybersecurity coordinator, and the National Intelligence Service has begun emergency security checks of more than 2,100 central ministries, local governments and public institutions.
