In the future, financial companies will also receive information on the names of individuals whose mobile phones are suspected of being infected with malicious applications (apps).
The Financial Services Commission announced on the 14th that, as a follow-up measure to the 'Field Meeting to Eradicate Voice Phishing' held on the 28th of last month, the police will be able to transmit information on individuals whose mobile phones are suspected of being infected with malicious apps in real time to all financial companies through the Financial Security Institute's Electronic Transaction Information Sharing System (FISS).
In the future, financial companies will be able to quickly check whether customers suspected of being victims have malicious app infections through electronic networks. This will allow for rapid temporary measures, such as restrictions on deposits and transfers when the customer attempts to withdraw or transfer funds, enabling proactive responses to voice phishing. To this end, the Korean National Police Agency and the Financial Security Institute signed a business partnership on the 7th, and information sharing is expected to commence in earnest within this month.
The Financial Services Commission plans to establish a voice phishing detection and prevention system by integrating widely suspected voice phishing information from the financial, telecommunications, and investigative sectors, including information on mobile phones suspected of being infected with malicious apps, into the 'Voice Phishing Artificial Intelligence Platform' currently under construction.
