If the account related to the account theft is permanently restricted, a report of account theft damage can only be made once it is objectively confirmed that the account is unrelated to the account theft.

The period during which the Company can assist with all matters related to account theft damage suffered by a user is limited to within 15 days based on the log data of the date the damage occurred.

If more than 15 days have passed based on the log data, it becomes difficult for the Company to verify the details of the damage, so we will not be able to assist.
