KT said its system will encrypt IMSI and will protect users' data on their mobile devices and at WiFi access points. The company introduced such a system for Apple's iPhones in October.
KT said mobile devices that run on Android 10 OS will support its IMSI protection system without special settings. (Yonhap)
