Prabang reported on October 2, 2026, that an unauthorized external party leaked information on about 20 customers. The exposed data included 12 items such as names in Korean, names in English, and gender. Prabang stated it has implemented emergency measures, including blocking relevant access IPs and monitoring for abnormal access, alongside additional checks for website vulnerabilities. The Financial Services Commission of South Korea announced on October 14 that the number of financial companies with confirmed security breaches has risen to 16, including Gopax and Prabang.
