South Korean e-commerce giant Coupang has nearly restored its active user base to pre-breach levels following a massive November 2025 security incident that exposed 33.7 million customers. The recovery, driven by aggressive compensation packages and a strategic pivot toward Nvidia-powered AI infrastructure, signals a resilient turnaround for the NYSE-listed firm.
Coupang reported a surprise $26 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 as the fallout from a massive 34-million-user data breach eroded consumer trust and triggered a costly compensation campaign. Despite 11% revenue growth, the e-commerce giant faces significant regulatory scrutiny and a 30% stock decline since the incident was disclosed.
South Korean e-commerce leader Coupang is grappling with a significant loss of consumer trust and market value following a data breach affecting 34 million users. As the Science Ministry attributes the leak to management failures, rivals like Naver are capitalizing on the reputational damage, leading to a sharp decline in Coupang's active users and stock price.
