PoinCampus Data Breach (2024)

If you are a customer of PoinCampus, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In November 2024, the South Korean education platform PoinCampus suffered a data breach which was later published to a popular hacking forum. The data included 89k unique email addresses, names and a small number of phone numbers and dates of birth.

On November 14, 2024, the South Korean education platform PoinCampus appeared in a fresh data breach listing after an incident that exposed records belonging to 89,000 users. The breach, first catalogued by Have I Been Pwned, confirms that names, email addresses, dates of birth, and a smaller set of phone numbers were published to a popular hacking forum. If you or your children have ever used the platform for tutoring, test preparation, or online courses, your personal details may now be circulating beyond the company’s control.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Reported Details from the Disclosure

The primary listing on Have I Been Pwned states that the PoinCampus breach occurred in 2024 and affects 89,000 unique email addresses. Exposed data includes names, email addresses, dates of birth, and a limited number of phone numbers. The disclosure does not specify the exact attack vector, whether data was encrypted, or if a ransomware group claimed responsibility. It simply confirms the dataset was published to a public hacking forum, making it freely downloadable by anyone who knows where to look.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Even though the breach is labeled low severity, the combination of names, dates of birth, emails, and phone numbers creates immediate risks for identity theft and targeted scams. Fraudsters can use your date of birth and name to impersonate you when resetting passwords on other services. Phone numbers enable SMS phishing attacks that look legitimate because they already contain accurate personal details. If your child uses PoinCampus, their name and birth date are now public, which can be paired with gaming usernames or school information to begin doxxing chains that affect the entire household.

November 14, 2024 marks the moment this dataset moved from private hands into open circulation. Once information reaches a hacking forum, it spreads quickly through resale channels and automated scraping tools. Your family cannot assume the exposure will remain obscure.
