SK Telecom said on Jan. 18 it held a personal data-focused education programme and a company visit for middle and high school students in Naju on Jan. 15, together with the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Naju Office of Education.

SKT introduced key cybercrime types and cases such as voice phishing and smishing, cases of responding to cyber threats using AI technology, and key response principles for protecting personal data.

Students were also able to understand security threats they may face in daily life and learn practical ways to keep personal data safe. Through a question-and-answer session with working-level experts, they broadened their understanding of the security industry and related jobs and created an opportunity to explore career paths.

Cha Hobum, chief privacy officer at SK Telecom, said, "To create an environment where people can communicate with peace of mind, we are continuously strengthening our information security system." He added, "I hope this programme helps raise teenagers' awareness of personal data protection and leads to practice in everyday life."
