Korean Government Data-center Fire

Status: Partial external outage (government sources).
Started: Friday, Sept 26, 2025 (approx. 20:20 KST).
Background: A fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) data center in Daejeon led authorities to suspend hundreds of government IT systems to protect infrastructure; initial reports cited 647 affected systems, later revised upward during recovery updates.

What’s available:

  • All KOBDi company data prior to Sept 26, 2025 remains fully accessible on our servers—including business profiles, financials, HR, licenses, certifications, contact details, online presence, intellectual-property registrations, and historical ranking fields.

Temporary limitations (external dependencies):

  • Korean Business Status (BRN) live check — unavailable while National Tax Service linked services are restored.
  • Intraday stock price updates for listed companies — paused until relevant government/exchange systems normalize.

Note: Government recovery is ongoing; public updates have reported phased restoration of affected systems through October.

We will reactivate the above live features as soon as their upstream services are confirmed stable.
