More information from The Chosun Daily <https://www.chosun.com/english/national-en/2025/10/02/FPWGFS...>:

>The Ministry of Personnel Management, where all affiliated officials use the G-Drive, is particularly affected. A source from the Ministry of Personnel Management said, “It’s daunting as eight years’ worth of work materials have completely disappeared.”

[...]

>The actual number of users is about 17% of all central government officials. According to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, as of last August, 125,000 public officials from 74 ministries are using it.

Last century, IT always had "fire hero" stories, where some worker saved the day by grabbing the [punched cards|disk pack|backup tapes|whatever] and hauling his org's irreplaceable data safety.

Are those stories even told anymore?

What are they storing in 858TB? The September 2025 Common Crawl is 421 TiB. The entire Netflix library is allegedly 100TB.

It’s actually only 17MB per South Korean (their population is estimated at 51 million), but I think that’s still a lot.
