When leaks in industry technology become intelligent, the persecution techniques of law enforcement are developing.

When leaks in industrial technology become intelligent, the techniques to determine law enforcement develop in accordance with them.

An official of the Supreme Public Prosecutor said on 25: “It is not easy to find evidence, because those who plan and implement technology to plan and implement.”

In view of the severity of technological delicacic crime, the “Technology Losing Criminal Corporation Search” was determined in September 2022. The investigation work previously carried out by the Ministry against corruption and robbery, which was transferred to the Department of Cyber ​​and Technology Criminal Investigation in Scientific examination, and a committed control tower was founded. The government also used professional personnel such as patenting and prosecutors with a focus on science and engineering to build a cooperative system with the investigation support center.

Since the center of the center, the public prosecutor has booked 226 people and arrested 73 people for two years and eight months to May this year. In addition, 123.8 billion WON were won in the proceeds from the punishment. In particular, the law enforcement rate almost doubled from 11.2% in 2022 to 2024, while the arrest rate (20% → 24.9%) and the prison sentence (11% → 23.6%) also rose by 4.9 percentage points or 12.6 percentage points in the same period.

The public prosecutor also strengthens cooperation with companies that are at the top of the crimes of the technical leakage. In October last year, the Hyundai Motor and plans to visit companies such as Samsung and LG in the future visited the Hyundai Motor and Plants.

A public prosecutor's administrator said: “When we visit a company, we exchange various information with companies and focus on cases of technological leakage. As a precaution, we hear how the technical security officer operates the system and give feedback.”

The highest public prosecutor's office organized a “Korea-US-Japan-Roundtable” last month to combat technology corner in the office of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's office. Although it has set up a cooperative system with the United States, this has the first time that the Japanese National Police Authority took part. When an investigative agency says: “We have caught a case in which a company describes a leaked technology like this”, it is a place where the topic and technology of the examination share with each other and a cooperative system is built up.

However, calculating the amount of damage remains a task. A public prosecutor's administrator said: “In order to calculate the amount of damage caused by the technological leak, it is difficult to calculate the amount of damage, since not only the capital invested, but also the profits that can be achieved in the future must be predicted and the value of the non -mentioned technology must be converted into the price.”

Prosecutors explain that it is difficult to secure evidence in order to prove the damage objectively, and even if related evidence is presented, it is another matter to be recognized by the court.
