"Blocking the source of malicious site access when opening a smartphone for the elderly."

It is expected that a function to block access to malicious sites will be introduced when digital vulnerable groups such as bait texts and the elderly, who are prone to so-called smishing attempts, open their mobile phones.

The Korea Internet & Security Agency said it is discussing with telecommunications companies a way to set up smartphones used by the digital vulnerable to access only sites that are frequently used by users and verified to be safe from the opening stage.

In addition, the operation of a "smartphone health center" will be promoted for the digital vulnerable to visit and receive help across the country.

In addition, special attention has been paid to recent cases of new bait texts targeting job seekers, such as "the resume passed the document screening."
