Phone Privacy at Risk? Find Out If Your Device Has Been Hacked
Hacking In Movie scenes looks very easy and interesting but it is never easy until and unless they find an easy way to enter the targeted device to hack. The way they follow for hacking depends on the type of device with information. In most scenarios, we get to know that hacking was done but in most cases, it’s not. The only thing they try to hack from an individual is mobile and what if it is hacked?
Cyber Attacks Across India from 2015 to 2022:
How To Check If You Are Hacked?:
If hackers try to steal our bank balance we get messages after the hack then we raise a complaint but what if they try to steal our private information like photos and details then we do not get any messages or notifications so what to do? Simply dial *#21# which shows details of voice, data, fax, SMS. You may ask me through which network to dial but there is no specific option to try where you can choose any network with or without recharge. After dialling you can see that all options as “not forwarded”. If it shows other than “not forwarded” then you have been monitored by hackers.
How To Stop Hacking:
There are two options that are displayed after dialing other than “not forwarded” which can be shown as either “forwarded” or “hacked”. If you see these two then your data has been shared to hackers and what type of data is shared can also be seen on display. After you find out any data is shared then to stop that dial ##21*10# then the data sharing will be stopped. Here there is another step you need to follow to avoid further sharing of data from your device and that is to delete all the loan apps and third-party apps that are not verified These apps include 90% of hacking in many scenarios.
How To Prevent Hacking:
Even though they try to hack our device they cannot find a loophole for easy hacking finding it difficult to hack this type of app gives an easy way where we provide necessary permissions after installing these apps like camera, storage, and notification permissions to run these apps while some apps wanted to share the data and few apps do not. If the hackers decide to steal the data they try different ways like Third-party apps, spamming messages, etc., where hacking through third-party apps is an easy way to steal the data of images and other information and through spamming messages, they collect the details of bank, Aadhaar, etc.,
Misleading And Fake Information:
In most scenarios never ever share any kind of banking details, otp’s to anyone which might lead to fraudulent transactions where in most cases the bank never returns the money even after the raise of complaint as the mistake is from our side. Be very cautious in sharing information that is not suggestable. There are other ways to find out whether our device is hacked or not but they are not verified methods many say when our device is hacked it gets heated up which is not a verified answer and is one of the fake information.
Conclusion.
Never reply to spamming messages and never install third-party apps as they are the main and easy source to hack. Third-party apps are apps downloaded from Chrome that are not verified and not secured. Even if the apps are downloaded from the Play Store many apps are not secure.
FACT: Banks never ask to update KYC details online on websites or apps through links or phone calls
