News Summary:

On September 10, Seoul authorities announced toughened data breach penalties, with potential fines reaching up to 10% of revenue, even as Coupang's monthly consumer spending volume continues to climb despite past data leak fallout. Earlier the same day, Coupang and Coupang Eats launched the "Traditional Market Digital Jump-up Companion Program," a comprehensive support initiative aimed at digital transformation and enhancing online delivery service competitiveness for traditional markets, expanding on a "Digital Jump-up Academy" for small business owners started in June. This initiative coincided with the enforcement of Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), which raises the ceiling on privacy penalties; Coupang previously incurred a record KRW 624.6 billion (approximately $467 million) fine for a data breach impacting 37.55 million people, marking the largest privacy penalty in Korean history. Also on September 10, card spending on Coupang surpassed 5 trillion won ($3.6 billion) for the first time, and monthly active users recovered to pre-breach levels, despite a wave of account cancellations after a personal data breach. Concurrently, a reader reported purchasing a counterfeit Aestura soothing cream on Coupang, highlighting packaging and typeface discrepancies, along with Chinese writing on the back, when compared to the genuine product.
