omonatheydidPolice booked six people for selling personal information of about 2 million visitors to social networking site "Cyworld".
According to the Seoul Police Agency, last October they created a program that traces visitors to personal blogs on Cyworld and sent text messages or mail to about 16,000 users saying that they could check who visited their Web spaces for 10,000 won.
The tracing program provides the names, IP addresses and visit time of users. However, social identification and phone numbers along with other sensitive personal information have not been leaked, police said.
The individuals installed the program on each blog in order to extract visitors' basic information, then saved the relevant data in a separate database.
SK Communications, the operator of Cyworld, said it would strengthen its security systems to prevent a recurrence. The company bans members from using any program or software enabling the track back of information.
SK also said it will toughen sanctions against members who use programs to glean visitors access information, with habitual offenders being suspended from the Web site.

Heechul must be worried that his frequent visits to cross-dressing blogs and gay porn sites become public. ;-)
