I keep getting verification code text messages. What's going on here?

If you don't register yourself, your phone number should be leaked, and you may also be attacked by someone who bombards software with malicious short messages. Install an anti-harassment software and refuse to receive these spam messages.

SMS bombing is to use software vulnerabilities to send SMS messages to other people's mobile phones, including registration verification codes of various platforms and software.

At first, the people who developed the software just wanted to spoof and retaliate against some online scammers. Search for hot words such as "SMS Bomb", "SMS Bomb" and "It's killing you" on the Internet, and you can find the download link of software similar to "SMS Bomb". There is a mobile version and a computer version, and there is no permission to download at will. The police suggested that it is understandable to spoof friends with this software, but if it affects the normal life of others, it is illegal.

According to the fifth paragraph of Article 42 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment: sending obscene, insulting, threatening or other information for many times, interfering with the normal life of others; Be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan.
