Through the AI-based Anti-Phishing Sharing & Analysis Platform (ASAP), 18.6 billion won in voice phishing damage was prevented over the past three months.
The Financial Services Commission said on the 28th that since ASAP was introduced on Oct. 29 last year through the 21st of this month, 148,000 cases of voice phishing information were shared, and measures such as payment suspension were taken on 2,705 accounts. This prevented 18.65 billion won in voice phishing damage.
This is about 3,540 times the volume of the existing Financial Irregularity Information Sharing System (FISS), which shared an average of 0.5 cases per day. Banks shared a total of 79,000 pieces of information. Specifically: ▲ 30,000 items of information such as account numbers, account holders, and transaction histories used in crimes ▲ 28,000 related items such as mobile device information where hacking or suspicious transactions occurred ▲ 14,000 victim account information ▲ 6,000 items of information on accounts suspected of criminal involvement identified by the Fraud Detection System (FDS). Information on overseas accounts used for voice phishing was also shared in 33 cases.
Banks blocked 4.1 billion won in damage by suspending payments (1,328 cases) using information on accounts where damage occurred at other banks. Using information on potential victims who accessed malicious apps and phishing sites shared by investigative agencies accounted for 1,250 cases and 11.84 billion won.
The Financial Services Commission (FSC) plans to accelerate AI upgrades so that the financial sector can detect and block voice phishing more effectively. The Financial Security Institute and the financial sector are jointly pushing to develop a "voice phishing detection AI joint model."
An official at the Financial Services Commission (FSC) said, "We will make up for what is lacking and push ahead with additional tasks such as AI development as quickly as possible."
