South Korea's privacy regulator will allow fines of up to 10 percent of annual revenue for companies that cause major data leaks through intent or gross negligence. The revised rules also require faster breach notification, including within 72 hours when there is a high risk of exposure, and provide penalties reductions for strong prior security investment and quick response.
