Have you seen those CIA movies where they are able to hack into someone’s phone and listen to a conversation, all for the safety of national security? If you think that it is a bunch of bologna, you are wrong and if you think that it is only CIA that has this ability, you are completely misinformed. So many people do not know what access the apps they have download are able to obtain. Of course, there are somethings you can do to protect yourself.
Here are some of the highlights of the infographic below.
- Users have so much censitive infogrmation on their device, including medical, banking, photo, and email information.
- 33% of apps ask for more permissions than they need, including monitor calls, record images of your screen, and capture conversations in the room when no call is active.
- Be proactive on your own mobile security. Know what permission your apps have, watch for them to change, and check your sources if secruity information is reliable.
