Representatives from the participating organizations set up a voice phishing prevention booth and distributed leaflets containing information on major voice phishing techniques and response guidelines to visitors at the festival, raising awareness about important precautions.


Additionally, they provided souvenirs through activities such as a voice phishing response quiz event and by promoting the emergency livelihood loan support program for individuals with low credit scores.



Kim Kyungok, Executive Director of BNK Kyongnam Bank, stated, "We anticipated that many visitors would attend the Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival, which is a representative autumn flower festival in the Gyeongnam region, and thus collaborated with local organizations to conduct the voice phishing prevention publicity campaign. As voice phishing tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated, it is important for financial institutions and the local community to respond together. Going forward, BNK Kyongnam Bank will continue to carry out prevention activities and financial education to protect our customers' valuable assets."
