South Korean online retail giant Coupang said it will offer 1.69 trillion South Korean won ($1.17 billion) in compensation to 34 million users affected by a massive data breach disclosed last month.

The company said in a statement Monday local time that it planned to provide customers with purchase vouchers totaling 50,000 won for various Coupang services.

Former customers who closed their Coupang accounts following the data breach are also eligible to receive the vouchers.

Coupang said users can check their eligibility for the vouchers starting Jan. 15, according to a Google translation of the statement in Korean.

Harold Rogers, interim CEO for Coupang Corp., described the move as a “responsible measure for our customers,” and said the company would “fulfill its responsibilities to the end.”

“I once again deeply apologize to our customers,” he said in the statement.
