Many people use mobile phones to take pictures and screenshots to capture things around them, but no matter how convenient it is, be careful when storing them.
Some experts remind that even if mobile phones have a lot of memory capacity, do not store 5 types of photos in your phone and delete them immediately, or you will regret it at some point. Let’s see what these 5 types of photos are.
Photos of ID cards or identification cards
ID cards and identification cards are important personal documents for everyone. Each individual is only given a unique number for themselves. For convenience in processing work, making documents, etc., many people take photos with their phones and save them to their phones in case they need them.
Types of photos not to be saved in the phone. (Illustrative photo).
But unfortunately, if your mobile phone is accidentally lost or the photos are leaked, then others can see our ID cards. In this case, personal information will be exposed, which is very dangerous, and if someone with malicious intent uses it, it will cause serious damage.
High-tech criminals often target citizen identification cards with QR codes and chips containing a lot of personal information that can be exploited. The criminals can use the image of the card to sign up for a bank account or borrow money on apps, use it to register for a virtual tax ID, register for a postpaid phone number, etc., along with many other tactics to illegally exploit it.
Bank card photos
Everyone knows that when registering for a bank card, we also need to use our ID card to register and keep our mobile phone number, so the bank card is also important, just like the ID card.
You should not keep photos of your bank card on your mobile phone. If, unfortunately, when your mobile phone is lost, other people can use the photo of the bank card and the mobile phone to transfer money in our bank card, which will lead to the loss of our assets.
Driver’s license photos
Many people have the habit of taking photos of their driver’s license and saving them on their phones, especially those who have just obtained a driver’s license. At this time, because of excitement, they take photos to share the joy with friends or share on social media.
In reality, the driver’s license is also like an ID card. It contains our name, ID number, and address, and all the information is very clear and detailed. Therefore, when it is lost, all our personal information will be exposed, making it easy for bad people to use it, causing many troubles.
Account password photos
Many people have the habit of taking photos to keep their account passwords or important passwords on their mobile phones. However, in case the mobile phone is lost, the wrongdoer can quickly know all the account passwords, which can easily lead to the loss of all money and personal information.
Sensitive photos
Many people have the habit of keeping sweet moments when in love or photos of themselves. However, there are some “hot” photos that you should not keep on your phone to prevent the case of losing your phone, as these photos can be spread, affecting your dignity.
To overcome this, you can use photo and video “hiding” apps. It will be really difficult to avoid situations where friends, colleagues, and especially phone repairers access your smartphone. So it is necessary to put sensitive photos and videos into security apps.
So keeping these 5 types of photos in your phone is extremely dangerous and can bring “disaster upon yourself”. Check if you still have these photos, be careful!
