Commercial Banks Strengthen Anti-Scam Measures After Breach

Commercial lenders in South Korea are strengthening anti-scam measures after the Coupang data breach, market watchers said Thursday. Banks including Shinhan, KB Kookmin, Woori, Hana and NH NongHyup are deploying AI fraud detection, expanding monitoring teams, creating dedicated prevention units, and raising branch-level alerts; Shinhan’s AI model detected about 10% of suspicious cases in H1. Authorities urge customers to enable transaction-blocking services and avoid unsolicited app installs.
