Citizen Conan (=Fishing Eyes Police) is developed and jointly operated by National Police University Public Safety Policy Research Institute and Infiniguru Co., Ltd..
It is Korea's only 'voice phishing public (financial company) government (police agency) joint response network service' that prevents voice phishing.
Citizen Conan is a voice phishing instantaneous detector developed at the request of front-line police officers to detect malicious apps, remote control apps, similar remote control apps, smishing, etc. that are exploited in voice phishing. It is the same app as the old Fishing Eyes Police.
Citizen Conan detects apps used for voice phishing, such as malicious apps, remote control apps, and smishing, while Phishing Eyes includes most detection functions related to all fraudulent processes of voice phishing, such as 'malicious apps', 'remote control apps', 'smishing', 'whether or not to call with a phisher', 'malicious IP/URL detection', and 'KakaoTalk impersonation detection', depending on the version. We provide otherwise. Citizen Conan and Fishing Eyes work together with financial companies to prevent voice phishing from the 5 major deceptive actions of phishers (malicious apps, remote control apps, text, KakaoTalk, calls) and 5 major financial extortion channels (APP, WEB, ARS, ATM, counter).
We recommend that customers who want comprehensive voice phishing prevention install the Fishing Eyes app. Customers who have installed Fishing Eyes do not need to install the Citizen Conan app separately.
