KT M-Mobile announced on the 3rd that it has launched three ‘Safe Plans’ aimed at preventing and protecting customers from voice phishing and online transaction scams (hereafter referred to as ‘online fraud’).

By subscribing to this plan, customers can enjoy benefits such as ▲ Voice Phishing Prevention Solution ▲ Compensation for Voice Phishing and Smishing Damage ▲ Compensation for Online Fraud Damage ▲ Legal fees for hiring a lawyer to deal with Voice Phishing/Smishing cases.
The voice phishing prevention solution includes ▲ Voice Phishing Detection: Real-time analysis of call content and risk notifications ▲ Call Interception Detection: Detects when a customer’s outgoing call is connected to another number ▲ Voice Phishing Number Notification: Alerts guardians upon receiving calls categorized as phishing risk numbers ▲ Smishing URL Detection: Free service that detects the risk of URLs included in text messages.
Notably, the standout feature is that it compensates up to 1 million KRW for various types of damages including financial losses due to voice phishing, online fraud, and electronic finance scam legal fees.
