An employee of a Internet travel agency in South Korea hacked his work colleague's Internet Messenger conversations and reported them to the company head.
The employee used a hacking program to monitor conversations. As the practice of Internet users giving and receiving short messages by way of Messenger programs becomes wide-spread, cases of hacking into the program to spy on conversations are happening frequently. According to the Information Protection Law, those that violate other people’s personal information or communication secrets through phone, Internet, or other information communication networks will be sentenced to imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of 50 million South-Koren Won, or $43. 000.
