Naver transfers Hong Kong backup data to Singapore
The South Korean search giant denied allegations that its sensitive user data stored abroad was at risk.
South Korea's Naver said on its official blog page that it has moved user backup data that was stored in Hong Kong to Singapore.
The data in Hong Kong was destroyed between July 6 to 10 and the server that was used to store it has been rebooted, the company said.
The company's move comes shortly after China introduced stringent, new national security laws that are aimed at tightening Beijing's control over the territory.
The decision to transfer backup data to Singapore was also in response to allegations made by local media that Naver's sensitive user data stored in Hong Kong was at risk of being leaked and that the Chinese government could access the data at any time.
