A KOREAN who hacked into a communication company's database and 
downloaded data of its 40,000 customers is currently awaiting 
deportation to Seoul, the Bureau of Immigration said.

Shin Un-sun, 37, has been apprehended last October 5 in a popular 
shopping center in San Juan City by the Philippine National Police 
Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), BI Commissioner 
Ricardo David said.

He was later turned over to the BI which issued a mission order for his 
arrest after the Korean embassy made the request for his deportation.

“He will be deported to Seoul where a central district court has issued 
a warrant for his arrest,” the BI chief added.

Shin is wanted for blackmail and extortion after he told victims to 
deposit $150,000 into his savings accounts in three banks in Manila. 
When customers ignored his threats, Shin tried the communications 
company, demanding payment of 10 million Korean won in exchange for 
keeping customers' identities from its rivals.
