Admin’s Note

The recent data breach incident involving Times Car has the potential to affect many people, especially since it included critical personal information such as driver’s licenses. As Log mentioned, implementing measures to prevent recurrence is urgently needed. I believe that employee training and strengthening security systems are particularly important. Companies must take these measures seriously to protect customer trust. Society as a whole needs to re-evaluate the importance of personal information.
