I received a Yandex confirmation code for no reason.

Hello,
I have been receiving SMS from Yandex (a Russian company specializing in internet search, among other things) for 4 days indicating my confirmation code. The problem is: I did not request anything, and Yandex is not supposed to have my phone number...
Even after I blocked it, Yandex continues to send me confirmation codes.
Should I be worried about the security of my phone number?!
Thank you for your responses.

    Hello,

    The first thing is to never reply to this type of message if it seems weird.

    Instead, go online (search engine) and do Yandex.

    I fear that this type of message might be a phishing attempt, just like some strange links such as: is that you in the video?

    Apparently, it could be a virus

    See the link below:

    The best thing you can do is to copy the message and go to the police to file a complaint.

    Or consult this site for Belgium:

    Of course, if your PC is infected with a virus, run a scan with your antivirus.
    Here is one that is updated daily and free:
