South Korea\'s telecommunications industry has pushed back against discussions on extending no-fault compensation for voice phishing losses to telecom carriers. The Korea Telecommunications Operators Association said carriers do not manage financial transactions and are restricted from arbitrarily listening to or checking call and text content. It said telecom networks are a channel for information, while transfers and withdrawals occur within the financial system. It cited overseas examples and said carriers will keep strengthening prevention efforts with the government and finance sector.

South Korea\'s Financial Supervisory Service has begun directly surveying investors who subscribed to SpaceX shares through Mirae Asset Securities, expanding an inspection that has continued since June. The questionnaire asks about professional investor registration, subscription procedures and measures to recover customer losses after non-allocation. It also seeks details on private bankers who contacted clients and how information was delivered. Mirae Asset\'s union says the long, high-intensity probe disrupts work and may seek legal review.
