Could a positive-security control have prevented this?

Verdict · unclear · opinion

The article provides no details on how the data was obtained, only that Naver suspects third-party collection and no hacking evidence was found. Without knowing the attack vector, it is unclear if a positive-security model would have prevented the exposure.
