TIPS if your mobile was hacked

HACKED

Your mobile phone contains sensitive information about you, from private messages to personal data, contacts, emails, bank numbers... the list can be endless. Therefore, if your cell phone is hacked, it is best that you take action as soon as possible.

TELL THEM IF YOU ARE A VICTIM

The problem is that many times we are not able to identify the signs in time. You don't need to be a techie to know if your phone was compromised. 1. It works slower: If the performance of your phone is slower than usual, it could be because there is a malicious program or malware causing its slowdown. 2. Overheating: If you notice that the device is too hot... a bad sign. 3. Battery drains sooner than expected: This effect may also be caused by a system update that affected the phone's battery

WHAT TO DO IN SUCH SITUATION

Install a trusted mobile antivirus (some are free), Uninstall applications that you have not installed yourself, Avoid browsing public Wi-Fi. Protect your phone with a hard-to-crack password. Do not download apps from unknown sources. Be careful not to click on "pop-ups"! Keep your device always up to date. Check your bill and data consumption regularly.
