A LINE notice seemingly related to healthcare rights may be designed to steal personal data. Recent scams impersonate the former "National Health Insurance Bureau", falsely claiming an NHI card has been used abnormally and will be suspended immediately. Clicking the fake support link may expose login details or infect the device.
Users can check the account name and verification badge. The official LINE account is named "National Health Insurance Administration" and carries a blue shield approved by LINE. It never actively asks users to add it as a friend. An account calling itself "National Health Insurance Bureau" and urging users to click a card-suspension link is suspicious.
Recipients should not use links in the message or enter account details, passwords, or personal information. Delete suspicious messages and verify any NHI card issue through the National Health Insurance Administration's official channels.
Anyone who has opened the link should stop immediately and ask an information security professional to inspect the phone or computer. Malicious sites may steal credentials and personal data or infect devices, leading to data leaks or financial loss.
To check an NHI card or message, call the toll-free landline number 0800-030-598 or 4128-678. Mobile users should call 02-4128-678. Dial the official number directly instead of using support links in suspicious messages.
