On April 5, it was reported that recently, a member of the law enforcement department issued a warning to the public, emphasizing the problem of personal information exposure that may result from the cancellation of mobile phone numbers. The topic quickly sparked a widespread public discussion.
When canceling the mobile number service, if the account is not properly unlinked from various digital applications, the telecom operator may reassign the number to other users in the market.

This redistribution process can pose serious privacy and property security risks, as the new account owner may be able to access the original user's account information.
Experts recommend that before performing the cancellation procedure for mobile phone numbers, users must ensure that the accounts of all financial banking apps have been successfully unlinked.
In addition, it is recommended that users check and verify whether their mobile phone number is still associated with other Internet accounts through platforms such as "Gongxin Weibao" or "One-Card Search", so as to take necessary measures to ensure the security of personal data.
Faced with the major decision to cancel a mobile phone number, we should be cautious, carefully check and complete the necessary preparatory work to ensure that our personal information is fully protected and safeguarded at the end of the communication service.
