South Korean Telco KT Accused of Infecting 600,000 Users with Malware

KT allegedly targeted P2P users to curb bandwidth usage, prompting legal and ethical concerns.

The malware was reportedly inserted into the Grid Program, affecting users of the Webhard service.
KT's actions led to missing files, disabled PCs, and halted file-sharing services for many users.
Authorities have launched an investigation, seizing evidence from KT's headquarters and datacenter.
Thirteen KT employees and partners have been identified and referred for potential prosecution.
KT claims the P2P service itself was malicious, justifying its actions as network management.
