The agency added, "Recognizing that the malicious acts are getting worse as time goes by, we have been paying close attention to collecting evidence for some perpetrators who have recently spread baseless rumors and repeatedly posted malicious posts with non-login IPs."

Another perpetrator, who was also charged with the damage, was handed over to trial under the prosecution, and a sentence will be given after the trial.
