Your mobile phone may be spying on you !
Your own mobile phone consuming your resources(power and data charges) can spy on you discretely. That spy software is not with the secret service, it’s available for free !
That innocuous looking app in the list may be malicious. Anyone with physical access to your phone can install the spy app discreetly and it can spy on you in stealth mode.
How far it can see?
Mitigation strategies:
- Always install apps from Google Play Store only
- Disable “Install from Unknown Sources” option.
- Enable Google Play Protect in “Settings”
- Be cautious, to whom you give your phone. The role of Physical security is paramount
- If you are streaming your phone’s screen for online class or any reason, your OTPs are visible to your entire audience. Disable peek notifications. (Updated on COVID-19 pandemic days of 2020)
