Technical writeup

Yonhap ministry notice is the census source. DailySecu and Herald add Lawform naming and SQL-injection detail. Do not merge with the June ministry-platform incident.

Root cause

Yonhap 13 November 2026: MSS said Amicus Rex (Lawform), an AI supplier on the second Everyone’s Startup round, found an external hack at 08:30 on 11 November. KISED told at 18:10 on 12 November. Users notified 13 November 15:00. Herald reporting described SQL injection on an admin page and deletion of a vulnerable API. Second programme-adjacent leak after June (~5,000 on the ministry platform itself). This row is the vendor, not a second copy of the June ministry incident. Also romanized Amicus Lex.
