NongHyup Launches Voice Phishing Prevention App 'NH Phishing Zero'

Purpose to proactively protect assets of Nongchuk Cooperative and Nonghyup Bank customers
Real-time AI analysis of call content to alert voice phishing risk level

[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] NH Nonghyup Bank announced on the 19th that it has developed and launched the voice phishing prevention app 'NH Phishing Zero' in collaboration with Nonghyup Mutual Finance to protect financial consumers.

When the prevention app is installed on a mobile phone, it notifies the user of the voice phishing risk level for calls received from numbers not saved in the phone. The AI analyzes the call content in real time, and if the risk level exceeds a certain threshold, it alerts the user with a popup window indicating the risk level (caution, severe) along with vibration and warning voice.

Additionally, when accessing the prevention app, users can utilize extra features such as receiving phishing damage cases linked with the Financial Supervisory Service.

The Nonghyup 'NH Phishing Zero' app can be installed from the Google Play Store, and anyone aged 14 or older who is a Nonghyup customer can sign up and use it for free. However, it is only available on the Android operating system and cannot be used on iPhones due to security issues.

Kang Mooncheol, Head of the Consumer Protection Division at NH Nonghyup Bank, said, “Recently, voice phishing techniques have evolved highly, and the damage is continuously increasing. We hope that NH Phishing Zero will establish itself as a proactive response system to protect customers from voice phishing.”
