South Korea’s government has warned that recovering systems compromised by a fire at a data center last week could take up to a month. A battery fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) data center, located in the city of Daejeon, impacted 647 government services, ministers said. NIRS provides 1,600 systems as part of South Korea’s e-government service for citizens, as well as acting as an IT services provider for local and national government agencies.
