The FSC's announcement on Wednesday covered the presumed scope of the leaks so far, while the institutions continue to check for more breaches.

The FSC said the leaked information included emails, names and phone numbers, and it put the number of presumed cases at around 100,000. It said the affected financial institutions are still investigating whether further data breaches occurred.
