A fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) in Daejeon destroyed the government's G-Drive cloud storage system, resulting in the loss of work files for approximately 750,000 civil servants due to a lack of external backups. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety is working to recover data from local computers and other systems, but significant work disruptions are expected across various government agencies. Criticism is growing over the government's data management protocols following this incident.
