How much does it hurt you to know your mobile phone number and ID number?

Theoretically, if someone knows your mobile phone number and ID number, it won't do you much harm. Because these two things are too easy to leak in real life, for example, when renting a house, these two data must be filled in, and the intermediary or landlord may leak it after getting it. There are also many schools, training institutions, residential properties, car sales and so on. , you can easily master the mobile phone number and ID number of a large number of people.

It is precisely because the mobile phone number and ID number are too easy to leak, so banks and mobile payment apps are good now. If you only know your mobile phone number and ID number, you can't find your own property and other information. Take WeChat or Alipay, which we use every day. If we want to log in to these two apps without a password, we must have the SMS verification code received by the mobile phone. Or reset the password by scanning the ID card. It is impossible to log in to WeChat and Alipay only by mobile phone number and password, and naturally you can't see private data and personal property.

As for some formal financial institutions, such as banks, when handling loans and other businesses, I have to take a video with my ID card. I can't handle any business just by my ID number and mobile phone number. However, after exposing the mobile phone number and ID number, there is a great harm, that is, scammers will use these two data for fraud. For example, recently, many college students and young people have received calls from self-proclaimed financial institutions, saying that they have been fraudulently used for information loans and asked to cancel their online loan accounts.

Because scammers have mastered a lot of detailed personal information, many inexperienced students have been cheated, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. Many people are deceived in life because the liar can accurately dial the phone number and report personal ID number and other private information, which makes people mistakenly think that the liar is a formal institution, so they are deceived step by step.

Therefore, if the mobile phone number and ID number fall into the wrong hands, there will still be certain risks. Of course, most swindlers have their own way to go, either exaggerating or luring people into being cheated with petty profits. But as long as you insist on one thing, that is, you will never send money to a liar, disclose your personal bank account number and password, or hand over your mobile payment software account number and password, then it will be difficult for a liar to rely solely on your mobile phone number and ID number to harm your personal interests.

But at the same time, we should also protect personal privacy in daily life, especially the copy of ID card, photos and videos taken with ID card, and never disclose them casually, otherwise we may face the loss of privacy and property.
