통신사업자가 지난해 국내 수사기관에 제공한 개인정보 수가 788만 것으로 14일 나타나면서, 개인정보 보안 문제에 대한 우려가 깊어지고 있다.
미래창조과학부가 제출한 국감자료에 의하면 2011년에는 약 585만 건의 개인정보가 수사기관에 제공됐다.
이는 2012과 비교했을때 200만 건 이상 증가한 수치이다.
수사기관에 제공되는 개인정보 수는 최근 몇 년 간 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세다.
현재 국내 법은 수사기관이 개인정보가 담긴 통신자료를 요청하면 해당 사업자가 해당 정보를 제공할 수 있도록 규정하고 있다.
한편, 전문가들은 개인정보가 경찰, 검찰, 국정원에 손쉽게 전달되고 있는 현상을 지적했다 .

South Korea’s investigative agencies obtained a record 7.88 million personal records from telecom operators last year amid deepening worries over the security of personal data across the globe.
The figure marked a sharp increase from 2011 when local authorities obtained 5.85 million personal records, according to the data provided by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning.
The amount of personal data given to the agencies has been growing steadily in recent years.
Under the current law, telecom operators are required to provide personal data when requested by investigative agencies.
Experts expressed concerns about the greater amount of personal data being provided so easily to national authorities including the police, the prosecution and the the National Intelligence Service.
