You Must Know! Seven Signs Your Cell Phone is Being Tapped – IMCNEWS

IMCNews.ID, Jakarta – There are seven signs that your smartphone or mobile phone is being tapped. Cell phone users must know these signs to avoid eavesdropping.

This tapping has many purposes. One of them could be to steal the user’s personal data stored on the cellphone.

So what are the seven signs that your cell phone is being tapped that you must know? Check out the signs here:

1. Strange sound when calling

If you as a cellphone user hear strange sounds such as buzzing, such as beeps, clicks or static sounds, it could be that your cellphone is being tapped.

To anticipate this, you can check with a sound bandwidth sensor at low frequencies. If there are several sounds that appear in one minute, it could be that the cellphone has been tapped. However, if not, it could just be an ordinary sound.

2. Cell Phone Battery

Battery life can also be a sign that the cellphone is being tapped or not. If it is tapped, the battery will usually run out quickly and the cellphone will get hot.

This is because the eavesdropper implants software that can run in the background of the cellphone and ultimately drain the battery.

3. The process of turning off the cellphone is problematic

A cell phone that is not functioning properly is also a sign that it is being tapped. For example, your cellphone is difficult to turn off or is unresponsive. This is a sign that there is malicious software on your cellphone.

4. Suspicious Activity

This sign sometimes appears strange text messages containing letters and numbers, mysterious pop-up ads, activity icons that move suddenly, and the appearance of personal information online.

5. Electronic Devices

Usually cellphones will be disturbed when they are near electronic devices such as laptops or telephones. However this should not happen when the phone is not being used.

6. High Bills

If there is a sudden high bill it is possible that the cell phone has been tapped. This happens because malicious applications or spyware can use data packages secretly.

7. Third Party Applications

Be careful if you download an application that does not come from an official application store such as the App Store or Play Store. Make sure the application developer is a legitimate and trusted party before installing it on your cellphone to avoid unwanted things.
