In this digital age, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of our lives. We use it to take pictures, record lives, and store important information, but you may not know that storing certain photos in your phone can cause you huge property damage. Today, we are going to talk about the four types of photos that cannot be stored in your phone, and if you have them, it is recommended to delete them immediately.
1. Photos of the front and back of the ID card.
Many people need to upload photos of the front and back of their ID cards when registering on the platform or handling business. After use, it is often not deleted immediately for the convenience of the next time, but is stored in the phone. However, there are significant risks associated with this practice.
Our ID cards are basically bound to important financial accounts such as bank cards. If the phone is lost and found by criminals, they may use technical means to break the unlock screen password. Once successful, they will be able to obtain your identity information, and then apply for various online loans, and even change your WeChat Pay password. This will not only expose your property to huge losses, but may also cause you a series of troubles and troubles.
2. Photo of household register.
The Hukou is a very important document that contains the personal information of the whole family. When applying for marriage certificates, house sales, documents, etc., we may use the household registration booklet. However, it is very dangerous to store a photo of your household register in your mobile phone.
If the information is stolen by someone else, bad actors will use it to commit fraud. They may impersonate your identity and deceive your family and friends, causing great distress to your family. Moreover, the information on the household registration book involves a lot of sensitive content, and once it is used by criminals, the consequences are unimaginable.
We cannot put the safety of the whole family at risk for the sake of momentary convenience. So, if you have a photo of your household registration book in your phone, delete it immediately.
3. Intimate photos.
Some people may save some private photos in their phone, thinking that as long as they set a password, they are safe. But in reality, there is no absolutely secure mobile phone system. If your phone is hacked or falls into the wrong hands, these intimate photos can be leaked.
The leakage of intimate photos can not only cause great damage to your personal image, but can also be used by criminals for extortion. They will threaten to publish the photos and ask you for money. This situation is not uncommon in real life, and many people experience tremendous mental and financial stress due to intimate photo leaks.
4. Photo of the bank card.
Sometimes we need to use a bank card number, because the bank card number is too long, many people can't remember it, so they take a picture with their mobile phone and store it in their mobile phone. In order to facilitate the next use, many people choose not to delete it. But this approach is very wrong.
The bank card is related to our property and funds. If the mobile phone is lost, and the mobile phone number reserved by the bank card happens to be the same as the mobile phone, then the criminals will obtain the card number information through your bank card photo, and then carry out illegal activities such as theft.
We should develop a good habit of taking pictures when using them, and the first thing we should do after using them is to delete them immediately, so as not to give criminals a chance.
