통신사 침해사고 손해 입증책임 강화에 '긴장'

South Korea's proposed telecommunications law reverses the burden of proof in data breach cases, requiring telecom operators to prove non-negligence rather than consumers proving harm. Combined with punitive damages up to 3x actual losses, this legislative shift aims to strengthen consumer protection, but the industry fears it will expose even compliant operators to significant financial and legal risks given the sophistication of modern cyber attacks.
