Adding your Phone Number
The vulnerability of phone numbers may appear to be low risk at first, but there's actually a much more serious side to compromising your phone number. In various situations, multiple forms of identification or verification are required.
In some cases, simply verifying your phone number can be enough for a sweet-talking thief to impersonate and convince someone else that they are you. As a result, even the most innocent of data can be used to do great harm when it's associated with your identity.
You can to add up to 10 phone numbers at the same time, if you would like to monitor your family's details in addition to your own.
