LINE Yahoo has announced that it will accelerate its plans to separate its network from the Korean IT company Naver. This is a measure to prevent the recurrence of the major information leak incident that occurred last November, and the company aims to complete the separation by next March, nine months ahead of the initial schedule.
In April, LINE Yahoo reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the government's Personal Information Protection Commission a plan to prevent recurrence, which included a separation of networks and operations from Naver. The initial plan was to separate from domestic and overseas subsidiaries sequentially, completing the separation by December 2025. However, LINE Yahoo announced that it will complete the separation of overseas subsidiaries by next March, accelerating the schedule.
In addition, LINE Yahoo stated that it plans to end its outsourcing of development and other operations in Japan to Naver by next December. LINE Yahoo plans to report these plans to the government's Personal Information Protection Commission on the 28th and to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on July 1st.
This measure demonstrates LINE Yahoo's commitment to reducing its reliance on Naver and strengthening its own security system in response to the past information leak incident. In particular, the acceleration of the network separation plan is seen as an indication that the company recognizes the seriousness of the information leak incident and is taking swift action to restore user trust.
