On October 12, a woman in Guangzhou reported that after canceling her mobile phone number, she did not unbind the Baidu network disk associated with the number. The new owner of the mobile phone number logged in to this Baidu network disk, saw his photos, privacy and address book, and harassed himself many times.
On October 10, Ms. Wu added the new owner's WeChat, and the other party sent Ms. Wu's private photo and asked if the person in the photo was Ms. Wu, and verbally harassed her again. It is reported that Ms. Wu tried to contact the customer service of Baidu Netdisk but did not receive a response. At present, Ms. Wu has called the police.
According to a previous report by Xinhua News Agency, at present, the cancelled mobile phone number is back on the market, and the application or authentication business that has not been unbound by the previous owner may be used or associated by the new owner of the number.
Baidu network disk responded
On October 14th, in response to the #Woman canceling the number and not unbinding the network disk caused by the photo leak#, Baidu network disk customer service responded: The mobile phone number may be released by the operator for the second time, and it is recommended to change and bind the new mobile phone number by yourself, and the binding of the mobile phone is to determine the ownership of the account.
For the mobile phone number has not been unbound to the network disk account, whether others can obtain the network disk information in the case of the second release, the customer service said:
•If the account is enabled to log in with a mobile phone number, the other party can obtain a verification code to log in through the mobile phone number;
•If you do not enable the mobile phone number login function, you can only use your username or email address as an account to log in, and it is recommended to re-bind it as soon as possible when changing your mobile phone number.
On October 13, the reporter logged in to the Baidu Netdisk APP and found that its login methods include mobile phone number login, account and password login, and face login. The reporter asked "what should I do if the account is logged in by others", and the customer service responded, if you find that the account has a login record that is not your own, you can check the specific details and kick out the login status of other devices. For account security, you can enable login protection: when you log in in from a different place, a web page, etc., your identity will be verified.
The correct posture of "canceling a mobile phone number" After the user cancels the mobile phone number, it is recycled by the operator, and the number will be put into the number pool to release the number to the new user, which is called "secondary number" within the operator.
Although there is a freezing period of more than 90 days before the "second release", some loopholes in the "second release" still make many people deeply troubled. There are many risks associated with "canceling a mobile phone number", so what steps do you need to take before and after canceling a mobile phone number to ensure that you can safely cancel your mobile phone number?
The suggestion of the customer service of the telecom operator is that the user needs to unbind the App before canceling the mobile phone number, and the operator has no right to help the user unbind. At the same time, if the user finds that the App account has not been unbound after canceling the mobile phone number, the operator can also assist in unbinding.
Due to the large number of apps, many users themselves can't remember how many apps they have registered.
Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially launched the "One Card Check 2.0" service - the national Internet account "One Card Check Search", which allows users to query the number of Internet accounts associated with their mobile phone numbers and the last six digits of their ID numbers.
If the number of Internet accounts associated with your mobile phone number is inconsistent with the information you have in your possession, you can click "Unbind and Query Details" at the bottom of the query page. If you have any objections to the query results, you can call the company's customer service number for consultation.
