I've been hacked on one of my social media accounts. The individual is trying hard to get my phone number from friends. Assuming they can do some damage with my number like porting it out or something. 

 

I have an account pin for my koodo account, does that provide any protection from getting my number stolen?

Koodo offers port protection to prevent this kind of situation. You can schedule a callback through Koodo Assist to add the feature. https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/port-fraud-protection

Koodo also uses two factor authentication for port requests, meaning that a confirmation text would be sent to your phone that you would need to respond to before your number could be ported out.
