Smartphones are prime targets for cyberattacks due to the vast amount of personal and financial data they store.
Cybersecurity can ethically hack phones through penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen security.
Methods used by hackers to compromise phones include phishing scams, malware applications, public Wi-Fi attacks, and outdated software.
To secure your phone, keep software updated, enable two-factor authentication, install trusted security apps, avoid public Wi-Fi without protection, be cautious of suspicious links, and regularly back up your data.
