This story is worth being on the frontpage just for that picture. I know it&#x27;s a common tradition in east asian countries for people in power to be overtly responsible for the failure of operations under their command, but just imagine if this was a western country.<p>We have such a terrible culture of not owning up to problems that were within our reach to prevent. A western leader of a company would never be that publicly humble about a mistake of an employee, most don&#x27;t even appear in the news with a picture, if they do it&#x27;s a paparazzi shot taken without their knowledge or permission.<p>It all reinforces the image that our financial institutions are run by crooks.

As a reference for anyone reading, South Korea has a population of a bit less than 50 million. 20 million credit card details stolen means that just under half of the country&#x27;s population was affected..<p>There is something to be said about the drawbacks of living in such a small but highly networked society (esp. in S. Korea where the entire country has a particular &#x27;small town&#x27; feel) but I do not have the energy to organize and put my thoughts to keyboard at the moment.

Do other countries have the same kind of consumer protection that the western world has in these cases?<p>Or are these regulations country-by-country?
