Adidas' Global Data Breach But None in Korea Yet
Customer data leak detected by Adidas
Check out this fresh snap of Adidas' logo proudly emblazoned on an outlet center in Germany. Here's the deal: while there haven't been any specific data breach incidents involving Adidas in Korea, that's not to say the brand's solidly in the clear globally. Adidas confirmed a global data breach on May 16, 2025, owing to a third-party vendor[3][4].
In the Korean landscape, there've been other cybersecurity occurring. For instance, hackers misused an SK Telecom breach to run phishing scams, pretending to be the Korea Consumer Agency[2]. Even though such incidents underscore cybersecurity concerns, no specific mentions of Adidas being part of a Korean data breach scene have surfaced recently.
Another example is Coinbase, the cryptocurrency exchange, which reported a cyberattack impacting a select group of its customers – but none of this has anything to do with Adidas or a particular data breach in Korea[1]. So, while Adidas seems to be Meistersinger in Korea for now, keep tabs on news as the situation unfolds!
The cybersecurity landscape in Korea has witnessed various incidents, such as the misuse of SK Telecom's data breach for phishing scams. On a global scale, Adidas confirmed a data breach due to a third-party vendor, highlighting the intersection of sports and business industry with cybersecurity threats, a realm where technology plays a crucial role.
