Is the verification code risky?

Relatively safe, low risk, but not absolute.

SMS verification is a double-edged sword, because it is like a secret door with an alarm. For payment, the alarm can play a certain vigilance role, and the secret door can help us quickly retrieve the password when we forget it. The secret door and alarm work at the same time to ensure property safety to a certain extent.

However, there are some risks in the existence of secret doors. If outsiders find out, it will provide a breakthrough for the other party to steal your property.

Especially in the era of smart phones, SMS authentication is most threatened by smart platform SMS Trojans. This short message Trojan allows users to download and install Trojans without knowing it.

When Trojan horse is installed on your mobile phone, it will intercept SMS verification code. With the verification code, you can do whatever you want. At present, because the security of SMS verification code is still relatively high, there is no safer and more convenient way than SMS verification, so I have to use it first.
