In smartphones, users store a huge amount of personal data. We are talking about payment card details, passwords, photographs, confidential information, etc. Mobile devices have long become an integral part of everyday life, which has made them a target for scammers and dishonest businessmen. They sleep and see how to get access to the smartphones of respectable citizens. Experts explained how to understand that your favorite gadget has been hacked.
Details
The first sign of a hacked smartphone is the random operation of various functions. A hacked smartphone takes on a life of its own. He himself turns on the screen, launches applications, etc.
The second most important sign of hacking is the rapid discharge of the battery pack. If your mobile device suddenly starts to discharge quickly for no apparent reason, then there is a high probability that it has been hacked. To verify this, you need to look at which mobile applications consume electricity. You can do this in the “Battery” section of the settings. If the applet that you did not install on your smartphone turns out to be the most “gluttonous”, then this indicates that it has been hacked.
Another sign of a hacked mobile device is an abnormal increase in the amount of traffic it consumes. In the smartphone settings, you can see which of the applications consumes the most traffic. If you did not install the “gluttonous” applet, then you should remove it as soon as possible.
A hacked smartphone can also be indicated by a slowdown in its work or a failure of the regular antivirus. If the device suddenly began to “slow down”, then you need to look in the settings which of the applications installed on it consumes the most resources. As for the failure of the antivirus, it is considered one of the most reliable signs that your smartphone has been hacked.
