6 Major Threats to Your Phone and How to Stay Protected
- Your phone can face several types of threats like phishing scams, accidental drops, water damage, public Wi-Fi hacking, malware and virus attacks, and phone theft.
- Phishing scam is a type of fraud in which cybercriminals send fake emails, texts, or websites to gain sensitive information from the users. Google's Pixel phones and Google Play Protect are designed to protect the users against such threats.
- Accidental drops and water damage remain the most common phone damage types. Preventive measures include buying shock-absorbing phone cases and screen protectors, using phone grips, and being mindful of using the phone in slippery conditions.
- Water damage to your phone can result in corrosion, short circuits, and irreparable damage to your phone's internal components. Phones rated as IP68 are dust- and water-resistant to a certain level.
- Using public Wi-Fi can expose your sensitive data to hackers who use tools like man-in-the-middle scams to steal your information. Using VPN is crucial while using public Wi-Fi networks to encrypt your internet data and avoid being hacked.
- Downloading malicious apps or clicking on infected links can expose your Android phone to malware and viruses. Using antivirus programs and only downloading apps from trusted sources can help to avoid malware attacks.
- Phone theft can result in personal data, financial accounts, and identity theft. Using strong passwords, enabling Find My Device in Android settings, being mindful of surroundings, and avoiding leaving the phone alone can help to avoid phone theft.
