Later, the police learned that the young man did not simply want to help the elderly scan the health code. He wanted to help the old man scan the code, so he took the opportunity to steal the information from the old man's mobile phone, and then he wanted to steal the money from the old man's mobile phone for himself. So after investigating the truth of the matter, the police took the young man back to the police station and decided to detain him for fifteen days. The young man also truthfully confessed his motives and purposes to the police. It seems to be just a kind little help, but I don't know that there are bigger security risks.
In fact, there are many such things in everyone's daily life. For example, when we are walking on the street or shopping, people often ask us to scan their QR codes and then let us receive small gifts. Many people may not take these things to heart, thinking that it is just a simple code scanning task without much security risk, but they don't know that many people can secretly steal the information in our mobile phones while scanning the code. So as to take the opportunity to reveal the information in our mobile phones, and then we can steal the money in our mobile phones.
Therefore, when such people ask us to scan the code or help us with things in our mobile phones, we should refuse in time, or ask the roadside police and other regular staff to help us. In such an era of developed information, many people's bank cards will choose to bind WeChat or Alipay. Therefore, once you disclose your mobile phone information to others, it will cause the money in your mobile phone to be lost. When you go out, you should always improve your safety awareness and vigilance, remember to take good care of your mobile phone, and don't disclose your information to others easily, so as not to let those bad guys have an opportunity.
