Many folks may believe it can only happen on your computer. However, hackers can breach your privacy by utilizing fraudulent messaging clients to gain access to your personal or company mobile phone’s data, location, photos, and other information. They can do something shady in a variety of ways.
Not only may fraudulent apps fool you into visiting harmful websites, but so can unsolicited SMS, e-mail, and instant messaging messages with links. Hackers can obtain any login information you have stored on your mobile device by using a technique known as phishing messages.
So, if you see an open WIFI network when looking for a network, proceed with caution. If you connect to it, your phone could be compromised. Eavesdroppers may linger in unprotected WIFI hotspots, waiting for unwary users to connect so they can monitor their personal internet activities. They will have numerous opportunities to steal whatever they want. Pay great attention to non-encrypted links (http: VS https:).
To protect yourself against these and other potential risks, use strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and security questions. Always exercise caution when storing critical information on your phone.
