SK Telecom to Partially Resume eSIM Subscriptions After Data Breach

SK Telecom to Partially Resume eSIM Subscriptions After Data Breach

SK Telecom, a big phone company in South Korea, had a problem where some of its customer information was stolen.

To fix this, they stopped letting people sign up for new services that use something called eSIM.

Now, they're starting to let people sign up again, but only in their stores.

They're also giving new SIM cards to people whose information might have been stolen.

This will help protect them from bad guys who might try to steal their money or pretend to be them.

Soon, they plan to open the eSIM service fully again, once most people have gotten their new SIM cards.
