Abstract

Recently, phishing, a new type of crime, has increased due to the expansion of the use of smart phones, and financial losses have been increasingly reported. As damage cases, which have become sophisticated through the use of smart phones, crimes occurring in relation to smart phones are becoming a concern. In this paper, we discuss crimes such as phishing, voice phishing, and smishing, which can occur in a smart phone environment. In particular, we discuss the issue of smishing attacks, as well as the problems and preventive measures of these attacks.
