“We have confirmed and are responding to a customer data leak caused by an external hacking attempt on Nov. 22,” Netmarble said in a notice posted on its website.

Leaked information includes customers' names, birthdates and passwords; internet cafe owners' names and emails; and current and former employees' names, emails and phone numbers.
