[The Chosun Ilbo, September 28 2007] Website Frozen over Too Many Trying to Pay Duties

Just a few hours after the end of the Chuseok holiday traffic many Koreans got caught in online traffic Thursday morning.

The website of the Korea Financial Telecommunications and Clearings Institute froze up disabling payments on taxes and other public duties.

The KFTC says most monthly deadlines for government bill payments fell during this year's Chuseok holiday, sending many to their computers as soon as the holiday finished.
