SK Telecom and regulator launch voice-phishing prevention campaign
SK Telecom and South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service are joining forces on a campaign to prevent financial scams.
The campaign comes ahead of South Korea’s Financial Day on October 27.
An interactive booth at SK Knights home games in Jamsil lets basketball fans try voice-phishing prevention activities based on real cases.
These scams can involve callers pretending to be investigators or financial firms, as well as AI-altered voices posing as family or friends.
On October 26, regulator experts will train SK Telecom staff who deal directly with customers to explain how to prevent such fraud.
Next month, the partners will take safety education to Hapcheon County in South Gyeongsang Province, covering financial scams and secure use of communications services.
