Gwangju Dongbu Police Station Presents Appreciation Plaque to Employee Contributing to Voice Phishing Prevention
On the 20th at 3 PM, the Gwangju Dongbu Police Station presented a letter of appreciation to an employee of Hana Bank Gwangju Financial Center branch for contributing to the prevention of voice phishing damage.
On the 13th, financial institution employee A noticed customer B (70) attempting to remit 1,500 US dollars in foreign currency at the bank and found it suspicious, so they asked for the reason.
Customer B replied, "A woman I know through messenger sent me a message asking to send money for the treatment of a child with leukemia in Israel," which raised suspicion of voice phishing. The employee reported it to the police, preventing the damage.
