AhnLab said on Monday it signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korean National Police Agency to cooperate on responding to phishing crime. The two sides agreed to link information and analysis capabilities as malicious apps are increasingly used in voice phishing and other cyber crimes. AhnLab will analyze malicious app data collected during investigations, identify key threat information including C2 servers and share it with police, which will use it to track attacker activity and prevent spread.

KB Financial Group will support the psychological and financial recovery of victims of voice phishing and other telecommunications financial fraud. It signed an MOU with the Korean National Police Agency and the Credit Recovery Committee to strengthen prevention and victim support. Under the agreement, police will produce and distribute prevention content and run support schemes, while the Credit Recovery Committee will provide credit counselling and link victims to psychological and legal services. The service starts June 1.
