The Smartphone can be hacked by mistake of use
In this time of advancement of information technology, users prefer to do all bank work on smart phones. You can easily send money and recharge through this app at home. However, by hacking the Smartphone, fraudsters can empty your bank account. So don't make the following five mistakes to stay safe.
Common passwords:
Many people are indifferent to using passwords on smart phones. Even if passwords are used, they are very simple. Many people give the last few digits of the phone number or their date of birth. A hacker can hack a Smartphone without any effort due to this mistake. Be sure to try to enter a somewhat unique password before entering any password.
Older software:
Older versions of any software do not have 'security features'. As a result, security is always low. Many people fall victim to scammers because they don't use updated software. Always keep your device updated.
Clicking on unknown links:
Fraudsters are cheating in many ways. One of the ways to hack a Smartphone is through unknown mail. This is called a phishing mail.
Many people unknowingly open any mail or mail that comes in the inbox. As a result, the hacker hacked the Smartphone very easily. So don't open or download any unknown mail if you feel suspicious.
Caution in downloading apps: Many download apps from links shared on social media or in inbox. Don't forget to do this. Different fake applications or spyware that look like apps are roaming around in browsers or different places. Once they are taken down, it is a disaster.
Much important information like your bank password can be stolen through those applications. So while downloading any third party app, download it from authorized place like Google Play Store or app store.
Device Access:
Many times give close people access to devices without thinking. It is very risky. Unauthorized access certainly carries risks. Unauthorized access can easily steal any personal information.
Stage Fright
Mail, messages, video links can come from many unknown people on mobile phone. Don't fall into any trap out of curiosity or temptation. Because Android mobile phones are now vulnerable to hacking. 95 percent of Android-powered phones have a special software error or bug, which can be used by cyber criminals to steal data from Android phones.
This bug is called 'Stage Fright'. Experts have cited this bug as the worst bug ever found. Israeli researchers recently claimed to have discovered the new bug.
According to Zimperium, a US-based mobile security product manufacturer, Stage Fright is the worst Android security flaw ever discovered. This is because the user doesn't have to do anything. By hacking a mobile phone, hackers take control of the mobile phone without the knowledge of the user. Zimperium claims that 95 percent or 95 million Android mobile phone users are at risk of this threat.
Google has released security patches for the Stage Fright leak and has promised regular updates to keep Android phones safe.
Researchers advise—don't open video MMS messages from strangers.
