The financial Supervisory Service dispatched a team of inspectors to the company headquarter and its cyber service computer department in Seoul to find out what caused the serious problem.
While many people speculated that the breakdown was possibly due to cyber-attack, an FSS expressed that the nothing has been finalized for its cause.
It said the investigation will be focused on uncovering the cause and factors for the breakdown, customers’ damage and etc.
