In a separate incident, another 766,846 burger-buyers whose data should have been destroyed after a retention period expired also saw their info leak, attracting a ₩10 million wrist slap.
The company therefore coughed up info about 1,540 customers, and earned ₩40 million in fines.
Samsung Securities did a lousy job securing a web server, an error that saw data describing 48,122 users leak.
The data was visible for a month, earning the chaebol a ₩100 million fine.
The commission also fined local outfits iMarket, JK Club, and Kara for leaking customer info.
Kara's fail was spectacular: it exposed admin creds to a search engine, and data inevitably leaked.
