What precautions should we take to keep our smart phones vulnerable to data theft and vulnerability?

As the service and demand for smart phones has grown, the focus of hackers is getting more and more important on mobile phones.


It is also useful to apply the tips below to help minimize the risks posed to our phones.

Backing up and encrypting information: 

We need to back up all the information on our phone. For example, phone numbers, files and photos. You should save these files to your computer, external storage device or Cloud.

Installing apps only from trusted sources:

 Before downloading an app from the Internet and installing it on our phone, you need to make sure the app is from a trusted source. The applications that we download from untrusted pages may contain malicious software and may steal, spy on, and install viruses or damage files.

Ensure the security of permissions that each application requires when implementing:

 There are some that allow us to allow security controls on our phone when installing apps. If the apps we install to our smart phones are not from a reliable source, cell phones can cause various kinds of harm.

Security Alert Apps:

 Available on most smart phones, using a pre-programmed system, which allows you to remotely locate your mobile phone and even delete GPS files on your phone, even when it's not ON. This is especially useful for locating and locating your files, especially when your phones are turned off.

Always update smart phones:

 The operating system for smart phones should be up-to-date. We need to update our mobile operating system by taking the upgrades from the right service providers or enabling automatic updates. As a result, we will reduce the potential cyber attacks.

Use caution when using WiFi:

 Our phones can easily be exposed to cyber criminals when using public wifi. It is therefore advisable not to use a free public wifi as much as possible, and if you are using it, you should ensure the security of the wifi.

Deleting information from our cell phones:

 Remember that we must already delete information from our mobile phones when we give, sell, or repair our phones as gifts. Because, once a phone is out of our hands, our personal files can be used by others in a way that is not used by others, and may be subject to attacks on our privacy.

Reporting When Your Phone Turns off:

 Major Wireless Service Providers have a system for recording stolen phones. Reporting to an entity in our area when your phone is switched off may cause us to shut down or otherwise disable our smart phones.

Using a strong password:

 You must use a strong Password or PIN to prevent someone from accessing your phone. It is always advisable to use a strong password so that your personal information is not in the hands of hackers, especially if your phone is lost.
