A new cybersecurity report from China Cybersecurity Industry Alliance (CCIA) claims that US intelligence agencies have been secretly collecting data from mobile phone users across the world.
The report reveals that the US spies on mobile phone users by utilizing hacking tools to access SIM cards, OS, and mobile apps, and targeting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and mobile networks.
Apple iPhone users are specifically targeted through 'zero-click' attacks, where spyware is installed in the background without the user clicking or opening anything.
To protect against mobile spying, experts recommend updating devices, using encrypted messaging apps, being cautious of suspicious messages, and turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use.
