As we live in the age of digital technology, it is logical to take care of our data. How can we protect our private information, whether it’s messaging, phone calls or e-mail from potential hackers and big companies? How is everything on the Internet for everyone’s hands, are there any ways to protect ourselves and ensure that no one is spying on us? We used to worry about protecting computers and laptops, and today we are protecting the small computer we carry in our pocket. Here are 6 clear signs that your phone is hacked and some ways to prevent it.
Before we go to the signs, first we have to look at the methods and ways in which the phone might be hacked.
For hackers are the easiest way to take your phone and manually install spyware. The other (in an equally easy way) is to use an unprotected Wi-Fi network such as those at airports and cafes. Because public Wi-Fi networks are open to all people, everyone around you can share and potentially see your traffic.
A less known way of hacking is through an unknown USB. If you plug in or charge your phone on an unknown USB, you are risking someone getting your information.
Here’s what it means to have your phone hacked:
1. If the phone battery on your phone is very quickly emptied, it may be a sign that an unknown application is running in the background of the phone (possibly one of the previously mentioned spyware applications).
2. If your phone is constantly restarting, turning off, running applications or turning random numbers, maybe hackers are trying to infiltrate your phone.
3. If your phone is constantly hot even though you do not use it much, it may be another sign that an unknown application has been launched.
4. If there are unknown numbers in the call list, it’s a sign that someone has roped with your phone.
5. If you can not turn off the phone or control simple applications such as the camera, it may be hacked behind.
6. Finally, if you hear noise or echo regularly as you talk to the phone in a place where you do not normally have them, that’s the reason for your doubt.
If you receive a message with no full URL code, simply do not open it. If you are charging the phone with a foreign cable, select the “Charging only” option. Instead of connecting to any public Wi-Fi network, turn off this option. Finally, do not buy anything when you are on public networks and do not use the “Remember password” option if you are not on a secure network.
