South Korean police charged two teens for breaching Seoul's Ttareungyi bike rental system in 2024, accessing data on 4.62 million of 5 million users, including contact and personal details. Investigators say the pair met on Telegram, hacked while still in middle school, and intended to profit, though there's no evidence the data was sold.
