How to check mobile bill details

Anyone who has watched the movie "Mobile Phone" may remember this plot. Li Yan and Shen Xue printed out the phone bill details of Fei Mo and Yan Shouyi at the mobile business hall with their ID cards. . This has caused great concern about the privacy of mobile phone information. Although this storyline was later deemed to be fiction by China Mobile, in real life, online inquiries of phone bills have still become the hardest hit area for privacy leaks.

However, Morning News learned from Shanghai Mobile yesterday that the third authentication level "random SMS password" is in trial operation. In the future, unless someone knows your password and gets your mobile phone, they will not be able to query you online. call records. Shanghai Mobile also stated that in the future, you will need to go to the business office to check call records in person, and other people will not be able to do it on your behalf.

Privacy protection has reached two levels

Yesterday, the customer service staff of Shanghai Mobile told the author that the "random SMS password" has just been launched in the past few days

, still in the trial operation stage. So, why launch this seemingly cumbersome initiative? The customer service staff said: "We have recently received complaints from some customers about the leakage of their personal privacy."

In fact, the existing online query process is not full of loopholes, because there are two gates - ——Mobile phone password, picture additional code. The function of the former is that if the other party only knows your mobile phone number, it is impossible to find the call records; the latter generates a picture with random numbers or symbols, plus some interference pixels, to prevent cyber hackers from using specific software to crack you. password.

The loophole is that the mobile phone password is easy to check

So, why is there still a loophole? The problem is that mobile phone passwords are relatively easy to check, but few people change them frequently. For example, if you accidentally leave your mobile phone on the table one day, your acquaintance will immediately log in to the Shanghai Mobile website, enter your mobile phone number, and click "Forgot Password", and your mobile phone will immediately receive a text message: "You Your mobile phone password is XXXXXX, please save it." In this way, your acquaintances can quickly obtain your mobile phone password in less than 1 minute, and can query your call records indefinitely.

The random SMS password is for one-time use

But now to check the call records, after entering the mobile phone number, mobile phone password, and picture attachment code, you need to click the "Send random SMS password" button . At this time, the owner's mobile phone will receive a text message "Shanghai Mobile Online Business Hall random SMS password: XXXXXX, the password will become invalid after you log in." Then enter this password to see various call records.

The biggest advantage of the third gate is that it "will become invalid after logging in once". The next time you query, you still need the owner's mobile phone to be with you. In other words, even if you accidentally forget to put your phone somewhere, the other party can only check your call records once at most, and the verification process is also slightly longer. In this way, it can basically be achieved that "everyone can only check their own mobile phone bill."

The new password will gradually expand the scope of use

According to Shanghai Mobile customer service personnel, the "random SMS password" will first be used in detailed inquiry (i.e. detailed records of calls and SMS). After all, this record is the most private. Currently, other online query functions such as monthly statements, recharge records, balance inquiries, etc. still only require entering the mobile phone password and picture verification code. However, the customer service staff said that the scope of use of the "random SMS password" may be expanded in the future, and of course one needs to wait for relevant notifications.

In fact, some existing mobile payment platforms have added a "random SMS password" lock for purchasing things through mobile phones. The original intention of the design at that time was mainly to protect the financial security of the owner, and introduced it to the protection of personal privacy. I wonder if it was inspired by the movie "Mobile Phone".

Checking call records will also be prohibited.

In addition to the Internet, the business office is also a way to check call records. In the past, although it was not like what was described in the movie "Mobile Phone", you could check other people's call records as long as you brought your ID card. But as long as you have someone else's ID card, you can still "check it on your behalf."

Shanghai Mobile customer service staff said that the new system implemented at the same time as the "random SMS password" also includes that "checking" other people's call records is not allowed. In other words, if you go to the business hall to inquire about relevant information in the future, you must bring your own ID card.
