The firm is investigating the lawsuit’s claims that Coupang misled investors by touting “proactive security” and “administrative safeguards” while allegedly failing to detect a massive data breach for nearly six months. The breach, which impacted 33.7 million accounts, was reportedly carried out by a former employee using authentication keys that remained valid long after their departure. This alleged failure has led to a $1.2 billion compensation plan and a CEO resignation, wiping out over $8 billion in market value.
“We are investigating why it allegedly took Coupang nearly six months to detect that a former employee had access to 33 million customer accounts,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation of the claims in the pending litigation.

The complaint centers on the following alleged failures in Coupang’s cybersecurity and disclosure protocols.
- Failed Internal Controls: The lawsuit alleges that Coupang maintained inadequate protocols that allowed a former employee to retain access to sensitive customer information. While Coupang assured investors of its “threat visibility,” the breach remained entirely undetected by the company’s internal controls for several months.
- Delayed Disclosure and Regulatory Involvement: Coupang has acknowledged that it “became aware of a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to customer accounts” on Nov. 18, 2025 (i.e., 11 days before public disclosure). The company further disclosed that “a former employee may have obtained the name, phone number, delivery address, and email address associated with up to 33 million customer accounts[.]” Coupang also informed investors that “Korean regulators have initiated investigations with which Coupang is fully cooperating.”
- C-Suite Fallout & Financial Damage: The fallout has been catastrophic, including CEO Park Dae-joon’s resignation tied to the incident and a massive 1.685 trillion won ($1.2 billion) compensation plan to restore customer trust.
