[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Bank announced on the 29th that it has released a video titled 'Is Your Smartphone Safe?' on YouTube to prevent smartphone hacking damage.

The video includes cases of crimes such as smishing impersonating COVID-19 and smartphone hacking, as well as six smartphone usage tips for safe financial transactions: ▲Setting screen lock ▲Avoiding clicking on and deleting suspicious messages ▲Real-time smartphone checks through antivirus installation ▲Caution when using open Wi-Fi ▲Prohibition of storing financial information on smartphones ▲Woori Bank's two-factor authentication and one-touch remote control service. The video can be viewed by searching 'Woori Bank' on YouTube and entering the official Woori Bank YouTube channel.

Woori Bank plans to provide this video to city and district senior welfare centers. Since last year, Woori Bank has been conducting smartphone security education at city and district senior welfare centers nationwide, targeting the elderly who are relatively vulnerable to digital financial fraud. This year, due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation making face-to-face education difficult, online education will be conducted through the produced video.

A Woori Bank official said, "Since it is a time when going out is difficult due to COVID-19, information security education that can be easily accessed using smartphones is necessary," adding, "We hope this video will help prevent the latest financial fraud damage."
