Many people, when they want to protect personal data, save their PIN or bank card more.

But an even more serious way to be harmed by hackers is to get the phone number.

This is because many applications and many services, from banks to others, authorize their applications by doing a verification via mobile number.

Hackers use a variety of ways to get your number. If they got it, they can access everything on your phone.

One way is to buy a number from another company and call your company, tell the employee that the number has been lost or stolen.

For this reason, if one day your number does not work, assume the worst and immediately contact the telephone company to block the use of your number until the situation is resolved./ksp
