In today's digital age, mobile payments have become an integral part of our lives. Most people are accustomed to binding their bank cards to their mobile phones so that they can make convenient payments and transfers anytime, anywhere. However, while enjoying the convenience, we cannot ignore the security risks caused by the binding of mobile phone bank cards.
In order to ensure the safety of our funds, you must turn on these two switches on your mobile phone.
First of all, open your phone's settings, swipe down, find Apps & Services, click on it, and find the information in the app settings. There's a very important switch here – malicious URL identification. We have to turn this switch on.
In today's online environment, there are many scams, many of which send malicious URLs via SMS to entice people to click. Once you accidentally click on these malicious URLs, it may lead to the leakage of personal information, the implantation of viruses on your mobile phone, and even the theft of funds. After turning on the malicious URL identification switch, the mobile phone will automatically identify the malicious URL in the SMS, building a solid line of defense for our personal privacy and security.
Secondly, the verification code security protection switch below must also be turned on. In modern society, captcha is an important credential for us to perform various operations. However, many illegal software will try to read and use the verification code information to obtain our personal information, which brings us great security risks. After you enable the verification code security protection switch, you can prevent third-party apps from reading and using the verification code information, effectively preventing personal information from being stolen.
If you find it troublesome to turn on these two switches in the settings, we can also set them on the SMS APP. Go back to the desktop, open SMS, tap the four dots in the upper right corner, and then tap Settings to enter the SMS settings interface. Similarly, you can turn on malicious URL identification and verification code security.
The binding of mobile phone bank cards has brought great convenience to our lives, but it is also accompanied by certain risks. We must raise our security awareness and turn on these two important switches to protect the safety of our funds. Don't let yourself suffer unnecessary losses because of a momentary negligence.
