Smartphone security feature settings... SKT, Lunar New Year 'Digital Safety Campaign'

SK Telecom (017670) announced it will conduct a three-day "Digital Safety Campaign" at Incheon International Airport starting January 12, targeting families traveling abroad during the Lunar New Year holiday.

The company will offer "Smartphone Health Checkups" at roaming centers in Terminals 1 and 2 through January 14 for customers applying for roaming services before departure. Staff will guide customers seeking security checks on how to block spam numbers and identify unverified applications. The service is available to customers of all carriers, not just SK Telecom subscribers.

SK Telecom will also assist customers in installing the "A.dot Phone" app, which uses artificial intelligence to detect voice phishing in real time during calls. When set as the default calling app, A.dot Phone analyzes conversations in real time and immediately alerts users when a suspected voice phishing call is detected. The app's "AI Security" menu consolidates key security features including AI voice phishing detection and security blocking for easy user setup.

The company will extend its safety campaign to visitors at the SK Knights basketball games during the holiday. On January 15, SK Telecom plans to set up a dedicated "T-Safety Defense Zone" booth outside Jamsil Arena, where the SK Knights game will be held, to promote its safety services.

"We plan to support customers in enjoying a safe telecommunications experience during the Lunar New Year holiday," said Lee Hye-yeon, Head of Customer Value Innovation at SK Telecom. "We will continue to evolve into a trusted SK Telecom by protecting customers from digital threats they may encounter in daily life."
