What is the danger of telling others the SMS verification code?

Leaking SMS verification code is likely to lead to the loss of personal privacy, account number and property.

SMS verification code is an effective verification code system by sending verification codes to mobile phones. Now many websites and apps have mobile phone authentication login. Users only need to enter their mobile phone number and correct verification code to log in. Once the verification code is leaked to others, criminals can log in with your mobile phone number, steal your account password and personal information, and even cause property losses.

Under normal circumstances, banks or institutions will not ask users for SMS verification codes, so we must be highly vigilant about asking for verification codes.
