A fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) Daejeon headquarters destroyed the government’s G-Drive cloud storage system, erasing work files saved individually by some 750,000 civil servants.
The G-Drive has been in use since 2018, requiring government officials to store all work documents in the cloud instead of on personal computers.
It is currently working to recover alternative data using any files saved locally on personal computers within the past month, along with emails, official documents and printed records.
Imagine being the employee who voilated work policy and saved stuff locally.
